So today we're making food that has no rhyming risk factor. I have a feeling this may become a theme over the next few weeks, or until the next phase hits. Please dont let it be a reoccurance of "where do babies come from?".
Nice Ice Rice Flice Buns Huns Suns Guluns
1 batch of basic bread mixture recipe here
75g sugar
1 egg
Icing sugar
Food colouring
Assorted sprinkly goodies.
Extra flour for rolling.
Vegetable oil to prevent the bread sticking
Make up the basic bread mix with the sugar and egg added. Alternatively take any white bread mix / recipe and add the sugar and egg, leave to prove in an oiled bowl for 30 minutes.
Remove the dough and smack around a bit. Make tthhhhhssssss noises at the same time.
Divide in half, and then divide each half in to 5. Hand over to your miniture person and have them split each portion in half and form a ball shape. Dont expect equal quantities but its nice for them to learn the concept of half and double. Roll each ball in to a sort-of-sausage. Its much easier for them to roll the dough (which is rather sticky) if you get them to flour their hands slightly before you start.

| Milly demonstrates a dough sausage |
Add each sausage to an oiled tray, cover with oiled clingfilm and leave in a warm place to double in size before baking in my oven at 170 degrees for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them - they do cook quickly so can turn just as fast.
Remove and allow to cool completely. Open every door and window in your house so everyone gets a chance to smell freshly baked bread. Pat yourself on the back for making the neighbourhood jealous.
Make some thick icing for the top - we went for tiffany blue and bubblegum pink (see, I can be foody when I want to be). Pour on to a side plate and press each bun in to the icing. Top with funky sprinkles and shove in the fridge to allow the icing to set. Eat the left overs.
Scoff, cough, loff, bo....maybe not.
