Candied Fruit Sweet Rolls dotted with specks of yellow, red and green fruit and drizzled in icing. Just in time for your holiday table.
The December Challenge: Make a YEAST bread for this month’s Bread Bakers that is SWEETENED and appropriate for Christmas or whichever holiday you celebrate this time of year!
#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
I love the little bits of color in these rolls. It reminds me of a string of christmas lights hanging on a tree.
Bright lights and colored lights seem to do more than, “Make the season bright.” I get a warm feeling when I see a scene lit in a soft glow of tiny bulbs as points of light.
As bakers we are all over adding reds, yellows and greens and blues to cookies, cakes and desserts.
Colored sugar sprinkles, jimmies and even gold and silver flecks and icings decorate our goodies.
So for today’s holiday inspired yeast bread I give you Candied Fruit Sweet Rolls.
