HELP!!! These little creatures are envading my kitchen !!!!

Hello dear friends , I really missed you all, but I did not want to show you my face untill I fulfill my promise to Minioven and other fellows, i promised that I will share my recipes for "Falafel & Egyptian beans dish" but till now I did not make it, I was so busy and I do not have any space in my freezer but I am thinking seriously to buy a deep freezer because my freezer is complaining. And I am used to prepare large batch and freeze it to be ready anytime, sorry guys and I will hurry up and make it as soon as possible.

Concerning the title of my blog entry, mmmmmm!!

That was my daughter birthday, I chose a savory dish beside the cake I made for her and her classmates, I baked these little hedgehogs, from 7 cups of flour, I got 69 cute hedgehogs.

I really liked it, I used it as sandwiches or canapes.

and as soon as they are out of my oven , they invaded my kitchen, there was a hedgehogs every where!!!!

 

There was even a battle.

But there was also a love story !!!

What do you think he is telling her????

My kids and the girls even all the adults like them from the first look.

Are'nt they cuuuute???

Thank you all and missed you all, and i'll be ready sooooon with my Falafel or "Taameea" & egyptian beans blog post.

Ah !! forgot to tell you about the birthday cake ,,, it was a hit!!

To watch it, please visit me on my blog

Hi, Chahira.

The hedgehogs are very cute, but not as cute as Malika!

Does she know what a gifted mother she has?

You've made my day!  What a great idea!  We have the real ones coming out now after winter hybernation and they are hungry too.  These would be great for Easter baskets!

Our leaves are popping out in Linz today!  Happy Birthday Malika!

thank you,

I 've put the recipe and concerning shaping, I am really sorry I do not have pics for shaping but I'll try to explain it and if you have any question, I am ready.

After the fermentation period, I shaped the dough into balls, and i tried to roll one side from the ball using my palm to form the hedgehog face, then i left it for the last fermentation period, I glazed it with an egg wash, then started to use scissors by dipping it in water then cut the hedgehog back several times and everywhere on his back, I used black sesame seeds for the eyes.

I wish I could explain it much better, but I hope that you got the idea and I am ready for any other questions.

Noooo, yours are sooo nice too.

They were very tasty and light and they were not sweet , I just added the same amount of sugar that I am used to add when I make my sandwich bread .

Thanks JW for your lovely words !!

Happy Birthday Malika! Emily especially enjoyed the school party shots! I see by your blog you do burger buns. It is very popular to make the miniature ones now, and for Emily's last class party I made those and they were a big hit. I posted a picture, but the photo was awful!

  Sometimes it is hard to think of savory things that kids will enjoy to take to a children's party. You did so well with yours, as you always do! You are so out of my league! Your bread creations are so beautiful, it is an inspiration to us all.

I am missing you, Thanks dear !!

What a lovely idea, I think that I have to give it a try in the next party  !! Emily is so lucky!

We were used to make mini pizza but I think that changing makes kids happier .

Thanks Audra, I love to see your lovely smiling face on my page !
