Pillsbury..

Baking for breakfast, this month's WBB#7 theme.As soon as Nandita announced, i went to search for an ingredient with which i could play around.Got it, it was right there in my fridge( which i had totally forgotten abt),Pillsbury dinner rolls.So from last week, i was playing around with many possible ways of breakfast items using these wonderful rolls.


Cinnamon swirls

This recipe was adapted from a recipe idea i found on Pillsbury website.This was the first one to try and came out pretty well.

Ingredients

Pillsbury® Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls - 1 (8-oz.) can
Granulated sugar - 2tbsp
Cinnamon powder - 1/2tsp
Chocalate icing - for topping

Method

Heat oven to 375°F.Separate dough into 4 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. In small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle mixture evenly over rectangles. Starting at shorter side, roll up each rectangle; pinch edges to seal. Cut each roll into 5 slices.Place them in a parchment paper line cookie sheet ,Bake at 375°F. for 13 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.After it is cooled down , top it with chocalate icing.

Spicy Egg roll

I made apple roll and simple parmesean roll the same way.For apple roll , i used appleslices with some sugar,cinnamon,nutmeg and limejuice.For parmesean cheese roll, just sprinkled some parmeasean cheese :)).In the case of other swirls, i made kale+parmesean swirls.I mixed finely chopped kale greens with some salt,pepper and parmesean cheese and sprinkle them into the dough.For the tiny square pizzas, i used onions,tomatoes and cheese.

I gave egg wash for some of the above items and have to say it really makes a difference.
