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.
