I decided to make a variation on the baguette recipe on allrecipes this week. This time I added a few new ingredients for flavour, which include Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and fresh rosemary, and I shaped the dough into buns instead.
Like the baguette recipe, the first step was to mix the ingredients together. This included throwing in just under 1/2 a cup of Parmesan cheese (not the stuff in the can), approximately a teaspoon of fresh rosemary, and 6 nice rosemary leaves that were roughly chopped.
Then the dough gets covered in plastic and left to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Once the dough had risen, I shaped the dough into 4 buns.
Once they were shaped, they had to be left for 30-40 minutes to rise again. Then I put them in the oven to bake at the specified temperature in the recipe. While they baked, I brushed water on the bread to help it brown.
I found the buns were truly delicious with the flavours of the Parmesan, basil, and rosemary. I'd definitely use this combination again, only I felt the dough wasn't as well suited for buns. It's a little bit more dense and not as soft and fluffy as what I like buns to be. I think I'll make baguettes next time instead.
