This is a crazy post: I'm writing it from my neighbour/friend Cristina's computer because my ADSL is not working and probably won't be working for a few days ! I can hear my kids and Cristina's running on my head so I have to write fast !
This month our BBD's host is Rachel of Tangerine's Kitchen and she chose buns.
Tomorrow is the last day so hurry up !!
I baked some very simple and delicious buns from an italian book written by two sisters :The Simili. They are quite famous in Italy for their classes and books on bread and fresh pasta.
Now the problem is I do not have pictures for them ( they are upstairs).
As is the recipe I've used which uses a biga but for now I'll give you the 'normal' recipe.
