Apple Bread Roses

Weekend brekky on the beach with a frothy coffee.

Notes and the recipe.

I found the recipe here - http://treatntrick.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/spiral-apple-bread.html

The things I have changed:
1.  I did not roll out the dough, it did not really work for me, so I kneaded the dough again and proceeded as follows:
Just rolled by hand into a short, fat sausage and cut of pieces that I rolled into smaller sausages. It was easier and quicker to make the roses like this.

2.  The recipe states that it made two 8-inch roses out of the dough. I did not get nearly enough dough for that. My two roses were much smaller, thinner and rather delicate, which required very careful handling. Next time I will make just one thicker rose and slice my apple pieces thicker, to make a bigger, thicker rose bread that may allow me to cut it into wedges. It is probably a matter of personal preference.

3.  Instead of just brushing melted butter over the roses, after baking and sprinkling it with sugar, I melted the butter, sugar and some cinnamon together and painted the mixture over the roses after taking them out of the oven.

Thank you Mr dabrownman (and, of course I'm hiding the fact that not even a smidgeon of sourdough starter went into this baby :)  )
