Breakfast Rolls
Well, it's no secret that I've been binge watching The Great British Baking Show and it's been so inspiring. Especially over the Chelsea Bun episode! I watched that entire episode practically drooling and had to take a gander at these delicious buns myself. These large, buttery, hardy, cheesy and savory rolls have emerged and we had to hold back from eating the entire skillet.

Who else watches The Great British Baking Show? I know we sure do and are addicted. We get about 3 episodes deep before bed and don't want to turn it off. I actually get very sad when James turns off the T.V. and says "that's enough Hannah". But I secretly try to sneak in an episode or two during the day while I'm taking a break from cooking and being my sexy self.
Did you know the Chelsea Bun originated in the 18th century at a bakery in the Chelsea area of West London called The Chelsea House? The buns were a favorite of the British royal family, including George II, George III, and Queen Charlotte. Isn't that cool?
Now I have to jump on a plane, head over the ocean to grab me one from London. Who wants to go with me?
The original Chelsea Buns are made from a rich yeast dough that's flavored with lemon peel, cinnamon, or mixed spice. The dough is rolled out, spread with a mixture of currants, brown sugar, and butter, and then formed into a square-sided log. After baking, the buns are brushed with a cold water sugar syrup while still hot. The buns are left to cool on a wire rack.

Now remember, I made mine a little different but still used a rich yeasted dough flavored with garlic, onion and herbs. Rolled out and spread with a savory mixture including mushrooms, spinach and cream cheese. They are so delicious.
Now, these Breakfast Rolls are a little different from the classic cinnamon rolls but the same in a way. Cinnamon rolls usually have a sweet filling, and glazed with cream cheese icing but these Breakfast Rolls are savory and topped with a buttery finish.
Are y'all ready for me to hush so y'all can start baking? I knew it! Ok bakers, LET'S BAKE!
