Apple buns

Am experimenting with bread dough - different lengths of rising.  Used a little of the dough to do a variation on the German Beer Buns I saw on the cookery program Hairy Biker Bakeation - them travelling round Europe cooking local foods.  Here is recipe for their cabbage and meat filled buns  http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/meat_and_cabbage_buns_80117

My dough wasn't sweet, I just rolled out in rounds put apple and a half teaspoon of lemon curd in middle, bundled up and sprinkled sugar on top.  They taste fine, though might try a sweet dough next time.  Good alternative to pastry as there is no butter.  No pretty yet but will improve.

Am also watching My Little French Kitchen on BBC - very cute - a pretty young English girl, studying cookery in Paris, living in the tiniest flat - she has to put up her bed each day and cooks on a pin head of a kitchen.  Yet she turns her flat into tiny restaurant at night for 2-3 people - brave - cooking French food for the French.  She has some lovely recipes.  You can see why she got the job on the telly.  Does she really not have a boyfriend or two with mansions in paris? - or is she an independent passionate - it's all about the food and my career as a chef or - somewhere in between probably.  She seems very sweet and passionate to me.

I will be trying more recipes from both these programs though harder to find her recipes on online so i will have to make notes while watching (unless i buy the book!) whereas bikers have them all bbc online. - You can see why I had to enlarge my jimjams.
