cutting bread roll dough to get a nice effect
« on: November 04, 2011, 01:22:05 am »
Hi,
Can anyone tell me please how to get the nice peaked effect with bread rolls?  Do you just snip with scissors at four points around the rolls before you cook them, or do you need to pull the dough out a bit?
Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.
Thanks

Thankyou Judy Dawn, it is like the crown rolls, but the other links are really cool.  Thankyou.

Glad it was what you wanted, making different shaped rolls is so much fun and really impresses visitors.

Thanks.  I'm not very good with the scissors,  so I cut with a knife to almost right through and then pull the corners up.  You can also do this with a bread stick .  Good link Judy.
