Stuffed bread - hey, SSN686

Unknown

<p />I made your stuffed bread but used chicken, broccoli, garlic and cheese instead of sausage. Otherwise, I followed your directions, and baked mine even a bit longer (45 minutes instead of 40), but mine didn't look as beautiful as yours. It was paler and it cracked on the bottom.[p]Did you coat the bundt pan with anything? I used canola oil. Is it possible that your egg temp might really have been higher than my oven temp of 350? Did you let it rise at all in the pan after you rolled it?[p]I have four more loaves and I will practice. It tasted great, I just wanted it to look nicer.[p]Your picture is in the link below.[p]Lee

QSis,[p]A clear case of egg envy. Get an egg and yours will look great too.

QSis,
I made the sausage roll tonight as well and I use the french bread in a tube. It unrolls perfectly and tastes great. Try that next time. Cuts down on the wait and rise time too. Just my 2 cents.

Morning QSis:[p]We (my much better half & I) have been making these sausage rolls for over twenty years (but only the last couple using the egg) and have had a quite few not turn out as perfect looking as I was luckly to get in the pictures you referenced. We also have never done one with stuffings quite like yours (we have usually stuck with a "breakfast" type combo). We do usually just spray the pan with PAM. My wife usually does the "assembly" and we usually place it in the bundt pan with the seam up, that way when you turn it out of the pan onto a plate the seam then is on the bottom. Occasionally they have split in places where the dough was a little thin. The cooking time does seem to vary between 40 to 60 minutes (I guess depending on how the planets are aligned that day). We do usually let it rise slightly in the pan (mostly depending on whether she puts them together the night before or not).[p]I hope this helps. Keep at it, I'm sure that even though this one wasn't "picture perfect" it still looked quite tasty (except for the broccoli, not a veggie fan myself).[p]Have a GREAT day!

Thanks for the tips.[p]And Squeeze's idea about using bread in a tube is a good one, too![p]Lee
