For Martinmas we bake goslings, made from bread dough. They taste delicious, out of the hand, but also as part of a lazy weekend breakfast. We have this really nice cookie cutter, that works great. They mini monsters love to eat the tasty and funny goslings! They can go ahead, with this recipe you make twelve!
This is how you make Bread Goslings
Stir yeast with lukewarm water, set aside for 10 minutes.
Place flour, salt, butter, honey, water and the yeast mix in the mixer.
Mix it all together for 10 minutes until it's a sticky, elastic dough.
Knead the dough briefly by hand.
Place the dough in a large, clean bowl that has been lightly greased and cover the bowl
Let the dough rise in a warm spot.
Roll out the dough to 2.5 - 3 cm thickness.
Cut out 12 goslings with the cutter.
Place the goslings on a baking tray with waxed paper.
Cover the baking tray with a tea towel.
Allow the goslings to rise like this for another half hour
Preheat the oven to 170°C
Bake the goslings for 15-20 minutes, until cooked and light golden.
Let the geese cool on a wire rack and bake the next batch.
Stick on chocolate eyes, with a tiny drop of honey
Eat the geese plain, they're tasty as a snack.
Or at them at your lazy weekend breakfast, with some jam.
Happy Martinmas!
