what a bunch of sweetie-pies
they're just begging for a story to go with all those faces, I bet they were great fun to put together. I wonder what 'bread' people voices sound like, and I wonder if bread people snore!
Very cute
I have a question though. Why does this dough recipe need baking powder?
Adding baking powder
Adding baking powder to the dough gives this recipe a wonderful flavor, texture and more fluffiness, I tried it without baking powder but it turned different, so if you want to try it with or without it's your choice, but just making those faces it's so much fun.
Is that my uncle in there?
Meedo, some of those faces look like some of my kin after they been in the sauce a little.
They just need some chin whiskers, and they could be Tonka's.
I am curious as to what these are, are they a cookie, or a donut? Or are they something in between?
Also did you use a pastry bag with a thin tip, or some other tool for making the faces?
Well done Meedo, they are great looking.

chocolate,chocolate
Hi Tattooed Tonka
I make my own pastry bag, I use a waxed or a parchment paper to make small bag then fill it with melted chocolate, close the top then cut a thin tip in the end , and you end up with an easy way to draw those faces.
Are they a cookie or donuts?
Hommmmmmmmm, Defiantly not a cookie, maybe it between the dount and a chocolate roll.
My sister asks me to make those faces for the open day at school, and believe me all the kids' going crazy I cant till you how much they like it, so it's a perfect recipe for a kid's birthday party.
comical!
I just love these! Thanks for sharing, you brought joy to this ole gal. I've gotta try these at my next family gathering. LOL

I am just getting into
I am just getting into baking and I made these this morning. I used semi-sweet chips since that is what I had on hand. They are delicious! I do think regular chocolate might have been a bit better, but possibly too sweet.
To let folks know, the consistency of the dough is like a dense doughnut. It actually reminds me of a bun I got at a vietnamese bakery. Extremely soft, dense and chewy.
A question
Hey there,
Just wanted to know, when you say vanilla, do you mean vanilla essence?
yes,vanilla
yes,vanilla essence.

Adorable! I'll have to make
Adorable! I'll have to make these with my 9YO niece when she comes to visit.

I made a batch of these with
I made a batch of these with my 11 year old granddaughter threeweeks ago - she did most of the making. Turned out a cross between bread and cake. Very nice. We baked half immediatley, and froze the rest for the following week when her four year old twin cousins came. It was very handy to just put them on a tray to defrost, and then cook. I can't remember how long they took to defrost, but it wasn't very long. We weren't as good at drawing the faces as the ones above, and had some very perculiar expressions !!
I found that I didn't need to cook them for as long as suggested. It also took a lot of cutting up to get so many. They are very small bits of dough.
so cute!
I just made these after seeing them on here, they seemed like a cute idea to bring to school after the first week of classes. I did half with semisweet chips and half with milk chocolate chips. After tasting them both, I really preferred the milk chocolate chip ones to the semisweet ones. The semisweet chips seemed to take over the flavor of the tiny sweet breads! I think next time I will leave some empty too. They are SO GOOD without even adding chocolate!! Thank you for posting this (it was much more fun than reading my anthro book)
Edit: I just realized the little flavor hint they were missing: I forgot to add the vanilla! I was thinking it was something I couldn't hit it (it's such a small amount of vanilla for a large amount of dough), but it needs it. Well, they were delicious without vanilla so I imagine the amazingness*with* it! I might try these again this weekend just to see now. Thanks again for posting this.
Beginners questions
Hi a couple of real beginners questions for this recipe
1 What kind of yeast will work I'm assuming given the method either instant(ie bread machine) yeast or fresh. A tablespoon seems alot for instant but I'm not used to working in cups so it might be more flour than I'm imagining.
2 Can I use milk or milk and water rather than milk powder and water
Thanks in advance
