I just had to try it especially since I have so many lemons sitting in my fruit bowl.
I was not disappointed and wanted to share it with you.
It was so easy to make that my 4 year old did most of the baking.
Please do try it, you won't be sorry.
Enjoy xx

My lovely Sunday afternoon with lemon brownie bars:
Flipping through a Nigella cookbook (which I do oh so frequently) I stumbled across a recipe for dinner rolls.
I've always been a bit terrified when it comes to bread making. And anyone who knows me knows that I do not like to try anything unless I know I will be able to do it perfectly!
I have been slowly stepping out lately trying easy recipes for fruit loaf and pull-apart bread.
I overcame my initial reaction to just turn the page. To my amazement the recipe looked very similar to making pizza dough and not at all difficult. I had all the ingredients in the cupboard (and did not have any bread for the kids lunches the next day). So it was decided. I would give it a whirl.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was it super easy, the rolls were delicious. The kids, after having rolls with their dinner, asked if they could have rolls for dessert! Now that is a win!
I think making rolls will become a very regular occurrence in my house.
The recipe for these rolls can be found in Nigella Lawson, Feast.
I just had to share this recipe with you. I made it a few weeks ago on a Saturday night for Sunday breakfast and it was divine. Even the hubby who hates cooked fruit said "this tastes exactly like you'd get from a bakery". You can't get much better praise than that.
