French Food Friday - Cranberry and thyme bread rolls

 

I have spent the last few days in the kitchen busy baking.

Yesterday I made mini panettone, cranberry friands and zimtsterne.

My panettone recipe uses a lot of egg yolks so in order not to waste the whites I then made the mini mandarin and cranberry friands and zimsterne.

Next on my list is these cranberry and thyme rolls.

These would make a lovely addition to a festive meal or you could serve them with salad for  a light and tasty lunch.
