Hi, I hope you have had a good end to your week, today I am sharing with you Whole Wheat Rock Buns.
This recipe is by Mary Berry, I was very intrigued when I was looking through her book: Mary Berry’s Baking Bible
I have made ordinary rock buns with plain flour and raisins before and they are good but I must say I really like these ones and would most probably make these ones over the normal one.
These Whole Wheat Rock Buns are really super duper easy and can be made in no time at all. You just need your ingredients, a bowl, some measuring instruments and your hands 🙂
I baked mine on my large tray that came with the oven instead of using 2 smaller ones and if I am being honest I actually only have one normal baking tray, I am going to have to get another one at some stage, I am also going to have to get some more measuring spoons, I seem to have lost one but I some how think it must have got thrown away.
I am sure I have mentioned this book in a post before but it is really good and am so glad I have it on my shelf. What is one of your favourite cooking /baking books that you have on your shelf?
I hope you have a wonderful weekend xx
(P.S. You do not need to shape your rock buns perfectly, they are meant to be a bit rough looking)
