Seed Rolls

~ Tandy

I learnt something new today! Nigella seeds and black cumin are the same ingredient. This means that I now have nigella seeds from the UK, some from Yuppiechef, and another lot from Faithful to Nature. I will have to make a lot more of these seed rolls to use them all up.

Head straight on to the recipe for Seed Rolls ♥

It is quite amazing how reliant I have become on spell check. I have never been trained to type and I know my right hand is quicker than my left. My typing speed is seriously quick. But that means sometimes the keyboard has not kept up with me. For some odd reason, the spell check has stopped working on Chrome. I realized this when my grammar police friend sent me a message. She reads my blog posts each morning and lets me know if there are errors. I prefer to type my posts straight into WordPress as I can see the word count as I am typing. But with the spell check not working I am now typing my posts in Word. I know that I am able to spell but that does not mean I don’t make mistakes. Sometimes I hit two keys at once.

And every now and then I move the keyboard slightly meaning I type an ‘I’ instead of an ‘O’. I made a small mistake when I made these rolls. Due to the rolling technique I used, I did not distribute the nigella seeds evenly. I was quite concerned as Dave is not a huge fan of onions. And every now and then I got a huge onion hit from the seeds. However, he did not mind the flavour at all. And surprisingly, they went so well with the gooseberry jam I made. I tested out my bread stamp for these rolls and I am very pleased with the look. Next time I make these seed rolls I will add the nigella seeds into the mixture before proving.

    1. I did not know jeera was cumin until we moved here and a Muslim friend gave Dave a recipe calling for jeera. Thankfully our local spice market could tell me what it was 🙂

  8. yeah I have a freind who used to let me know if there are errors. I created a user account on my wordpress so she could just go ocrrect lol. Did not last long. For some reason wp auto correct on chrome works at home but not on my pc at work. These buns looks great and cool to know about the 2 names of these seeds.
