How to make bobbins


















If you don´t have the opportunity to buy bobbins you can make them yourself at home.
I used to create these homemade bobbins out of old, unused markers and pencils.Cut off both ends of the pencil, apply glue to a long, thin strip of paper and tightly wrap it around one end of the pencil, for the other end you wrap about a third of the pencil using either wider strips of paper, or string.Coat the paper/string in glue and let it dry for a day or two, so they harden.

The winner yeast dough with me


It is a winner dough with me. My family always finishes all of it in a few hours. This is a very easy to do yeast dough, but if you're on a diet
and want to keep a slim figure, then you might as well stop reading.

What you need:
1/cup of milk, luke warm 
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of sugar
1  cup of flour
1  egg (separate the white and the yolkroom temperature
3 tablespoons of unsalted softened butter

Mix the milk, sugar and yeast in a bowlLeave it in a warm place 
until bubbly, (10 - 15 minutes.)
Put the flour into a bowl and make a well.Next, we have put the 
egg yolk and the yeast mixture we made into the well.
Mix all the ingredients we made into a soft dough. Move the mix  onto a floured surface and kneed briefly until smooth.  
Don't put the dough away to rise, but instead roll it out it a thin as much as you can.Sprinkle flour onto your board to make it easier 
to roll. 


   brushed with ketchup, and topped with  pepperoni and cheese and rolled.
----------------------------------------- 














 one roll is filled  witch  a sweetened quark raisins 
 and the other with a grated apple mixed with a sweetened cocoa powder.
----------------------------------









I used the same dough  not as a roll  just a pie filled with plum jam and sliced plum (no added sugar)


Don´t forget before baking brush the top with beaten egg white. 
Hope you enjoy :)
