pretty happy with these. white bread + 1 flax egg and - less than 1/4 cup water. the ones that are properly coated were dipped in egg wash and then soo gently rolled in the topping.
Unfortunately I think my kitchenaid is dying. It's only like 3 years old but within 3 minutes it started grinding and made a plastic-y smell. I even added more water, I thought I was gonna ruin the dough! Hate kneading by hand but got it done... enough.
Didn't occur to me that I should top them until after they'd already risen. I was SO careful but you can see how the ones I tried to dip got a bit deflated. they turned out ok tho :)
and here's a sloppy joe i made later!
edit
god help me, i ate them. i ate them all.
well i gave half away. but i did eat 6 of them and now im baking more. having some fun with my shapes; i think if i roll it out super thin i can fold it in half and get a sort of pre-folded hotdog bun. obviously didnt even get a normal bun here though. i know if i wanted to do it the normal way id just slice a log but idk
this right here is why i use the cast iron for everything. the crust so crusty!
left side is crusted with everything mix, right is a bottom with cinnamon sugar. sprety good
