Baking with Michelle Darmody: Savoury buns
he process of baking can be relaxing, the gentle weighing of the flour, the slow stirring of ingredients together, and the satisfaction of watching a cake rise through the steamy glass of your oven are therapeutic on a cold winter’s evening.
The problem that inevitably arises is that you now have a whole tray of cakes sitting in front of you waiting to be eaten. One might do if you are out visiting a bakery or cafe but at home, with a nice freshly baked tray of cakes, one is never enough. Savoury baking can be the best of both worlds, you have the evening of mixing and weighing, the smells wafting through the house but your sugar intake does not go into overdrive.
