SPOR

I had the pleasure of baking rolls for my family this Easter. Usually I defer to Trotter's Cafe and Bakery and buy their Sweet Potato-Oat-Currant (SPOC) bread for the holidays. This year, however, I was on my own.

Two-thirds of the way through kneading.
The head baker graciously allowed me to snag the SPOC recipe. Not able to leave well enough alone, I used raisins soaked in red wine instead of currants.

Housemate's digital scale made me feel like a professional.
I cut nubbins off, rolled them into balls, and tucked them three at a time into muffin tins.

Naked SPOR rolls.
Sprinkle with oats, pop in the oven...

Not nearly enough to satisfy aunts, uncles, AND cousins.
...and I was ready to delight my family.
