Muffin Rolls 
(a.k.a. Yeast Herb Buns, 

Without the Herbs)

Throwback: A 1980s cookbook called these Herb Buns, but since I left out the herbs, I guess you could call them Muffin Rolls. They're made from a yeast batter/dough that doesn't require kneading, just stirring. The dough is very sticky, so it can be difficult. However, the rising times are less than usual for a yeast bread. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, so I was glad to find the rolls to be fairly light. I really enjoyed them.

Sicilian Eggplant Bread Rolls 

(Focaccia di Modica/Scaccie/Focaccia di Ragusa)

The other day, I bought 3 eggplants. The 2nd one became . . . Sicilian Eggplant Bread Rolls (Focaccia di Modica/Scaccie/Focaccia di Ragusa), made with semolina flour. Recipe from Savory Baking from the Mediterranean by Anissa Helou. My first attempt. Never had it before, so I don't know what it's supposed to look like.  It was delicious, though, so I'm glad I tried.  I had to leave out the cheese, so this one is vegan.
