More Country Egg Buns

Cooling and Smelling Great!

Although I've posted about Country Egg Bread & Buns before, I just had to share these photos of my recent baking for the local Farm Store and our family Easter dinner.

They turned out great! Nice and fluffy interior crumb, slightly moist. The outside "crust" was soft yet obvious, shiny from the egg wash. The sesame seeds added a satisfying and nutty crunch. And, and...the buns had the heavenly scent of the orange honey that I used to sweeten the dough! OMG, did they smell good! I wish this blog had "smello-vision" or something so that you could experience their divine scent. I just kept sniffing the ones I served for our Easter dinner, over and over again. Then we ate them! All of them. Fast. Warm with butter.

Egg Bread & Buns

Country Egg Bread & Buns ~ topped with Sesame Seeds

A few weeks ago I experimented with making a wonderful bread that is enriched with egg and lightly sweetened with local honey. It is similar to a "challah" bread.

I made a few small rectangular sandwich loaves topped with a shiny egg wash and decorated with sesame seeds:


Country Egg Bread Sandwich Loaves

This bread made great sandwiches and even better tasting toast.

And as you can see in the first photo above and in the one below, I also fashioned a few Country Egg Buns that made delightful buns for my hot dog (organic meat & relish) lunch:

The cute little buns were delicious eaten plain as well. No butter needed, as this bread dough already had light olive oil in it to keep it nice and moist.

I packaged and sold the loaves and some of the buns at our local farm store the day that I made them. I will definitely make these again.
