Zainab, these snails are remarkable little things; I don't suppose anyone ever goes hungry at your house. I visited arabicbites, it is elegant and beautiful. The Fresh Loaf certainly is lucky to have Meedo and you.
Thank you browndog,

Zainab - I cannot believe all the beautiful things you make. It is really wonderful to see these things that are so unusual to me. You do such a great job of showing the process; it is really a pleasure.

Hi our special baker,
I'm really fascinated by your choice of baking and expertise. Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your baking experience? Mine is basically as cooking for a family with 4 children and husband, a manager of hospital food services and last of all a cafe owner and cook. Maggie664 aka Margaret
Hi maggie ,
Thank you for your comment,
I do not know what to tell you about my self.I'm in my early twenty,I study Multimedia and Web Development.
I cook & bake as far as I can remember.I baked my first loaf of bread when I was 10 years old.I bake almost every day if i have time.
over the last 7 years I came up with hundred of recipes.I even surprise my self sometimes.
I add my own twist to any bread recipes i bake,as my mom said that what make my recipes so unusual and unique.

How lovely! and I bet they taste as good as they look. Are these a traditional bread or your invention? You've made me want to go out and buy a pasta roller.
Hi kipper cat ,
Feta Cheese & mint Snails taste so good,the traditional snails (plain dough with ground meat and sumac Filling)
Mine *I add dried mint to the dough to improve the flavor.
*also add milk mixture to make snails so soft ,
*I use pasta roller to Roll the dough .the traditional snails flat the dough by hand.
* I came up with Cheese mixture because it is my favorite Filling.

zainab - thanks for the breakdown. Your recipe is on my list to try someday - after I get some more basic breads down to my satisfaction. In the meantime I'll continue to marvel at your posts and enjoy them immensely!
Hi there,
Thank you for that. Gosh, at 10 years I could only manage ground mince stew, mashed potatoes, carrots ans peas. Certainly not a baked yeast loaf! Judging by all the entries you have received, You are an inspiration to us.
When I finally leave my cafe I plan to be more contributory, but it is not on the market yet! Looking forward to seeing your next innovation. M
They look great. Kind of remind me of cumberland sausages before you brushed them with milk and proofed them :) Another recipe I look forward to trying.
I think I am going to try these this weekend except I am going to change the filling to somthing more italian. (family is not a big fan of fetta) I think I will use procuito, spinach, and provolone or sweet sausage, ricotta, and sun dried tomato.

In addition to Penzey's, http://www.myspicesage.com has sumac and they're doing free shipping on any orders right now.
Come to think of it, I have some sumac ... maybe sprinkled on top of some of the next batch of rolls ... ymmm.
