Savoury Party Buns

A bit funny shape but very delicious.

I was baking a cake the other day and thought I should use some of my whole wheat flour. I’ve heard many times that whale wheat flour would go rancid after a while. Since I haven’t used mine in a while I was a bit worried that it could be case. So, find a recipe that would use those. Sadly, a lot of German bread and bun recipes require various types of flour.

Biscuits are certainly not too common in Germany, at least I don’t recall them from home or anything. I believe the first time I came across them was when I lived in Northern Ireland.

White Buns

Goes well with Nutella.

This is another recipe from my time in the Bistro. Those buns were made to go with Chili con Carne and honestly, they do very well. However, if you need some buns for any occasion, these are the go to ones. They are fairly simple to make I find if you are ok with yeast dough. I know my mother doesn’t like that type of dough and I believe neither does my grandmothers. There is always the chance of killing the yeast, which can happen quickly. I am not saying that I am an expert with this, I had some accidents myself already. Practice is the key word, as always.
