Caesar Croissant Rolls



One thing I always have in my refrigerator is a tin of refrigerated Croissant Roll Dough. Over here the leading brand is Easy Roll and I know in North America it is Pillsbury.  A bit of a cheat, but when you have a tin of those in the fridge a fresh and delicious bread to serve on the side with your meals is never far away! 


They are very convenient and easy to use, taste great, and you can do so much with them!   I just love trying out new ways to use them.  This is my latest experiment. 


Caesar Croissant Rolls.  Delicious and quick and easy!



The tin makes six rolls here in the UK, and I know it is more in North America.  Is it 8?  I can't remember.  It's been about 19 years since I have lived there!



I think the ones we have over here are a little bit more like real croissants, but no worries, they will be delicious no matter which ones you use! 



You only need a few ingredients, the main one being Caesar Salad Dressing.  I used Pizza Kitchen Caesar Salad Dressing because that is what I had to hand.  I do not recommend using a low fat dressing . . .


The regular dressing will give you a much better result and flavour.  I find that when they take the fat out of things, they put sugar in, so go for the full fat version.  I think sugar is much more worse for you than fat. 



It also used Garlic Italian Herb Seasoning . . . . 



This is the one I always buy and no . . .  I haven't been given any or paid to tell you so.  Its just what I like and what I use, and I use it a lot.  Sometimes I like to brush crackers with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle some of this on and bake.  Very moreish!


So anyways, you unroll the croissants and you brush them all over with some Caesar salad dressing and give them a sprinkle of the herb seasoning . . .  you don't need a lot.



The other thing you will need is Parmesan cheese.    



This is the one I buy.  I use it for cooking and things like this, but for everything else I like to grate my cheese fresh.   This works beautifully in things like these rolls however.
 


So you sprinkle that over the unrolled croissants also and then roll them up, from the wide end to the narrow tip.   I like to tuck in the ends a bit so nothing leaks out.  (Yes that is boxed macaroni and cheese  . . .  with tomatoes in it.)


Sometimes you just crave what you crave . . . and that is one of my favourite things.  Boxed mac and cheese with a tin of chopped tomatoes mixed into it.


Once you get them rolled up, just place them onto a baking paper lined baking sheet, brush with a bit more salad dressing, sprinkle on some of that garlic seasoning, and a bit of cheese and bake.  Bazinga!  Delicious hot rolls with hardly any work and served up pronto! Yum!

You can see how flaky the rolls over here are.  Really yummy.  So . . .  tell me, what naughty nasty thing do you crave when it comes to eating?  Do you secretly munch on Velveeta cheese?  Do you tuck into a tin of Beefaroni every now and then?  Do you binge on iced Pop Tarts (with or without sprinkles)? Do tell! I really want to know!

Angel Cake

  Angel Cake is a completely different cake over here in the UK as compared to what I thought of as an Angel Cake when I was growing up. (Angel Food Cake)  North American Angel Food Cake is very light and airy, made with only egg whites, sugar, flour and no fat, and baked in a straight sided tube tin!  Angel Cake here is a  sponge cake about the size of a loaf, with three distinct and separate coloured layers.  White, pink and yellow.  Sandwiched together with vanilla butter cream.  Its quite nice, and something we quite like in our home from time to time.   Its really not that difficult to make, but you will need either 3 loaf tins the same size, or a larger cake tin that you can divide into three.   Children love this cake because of the colours . . .  and basically it is the same cake batter for each, just tinted separately for each layer.  The power of suggestion makes it taste better than a normal cake.  What is it they sa...

Classic English Scones - A Complete Tutorial

  No English Tea Party would be complete without a tray of beautiful Scones.  Is it scone that rhymes with on, or is it scone that rhymes with stone??  Who knows. It sounds mighty delicious no matter which way you say it. If asked what the difference between a scone and a North American baking powder biscuit is, I would have to say first and foremost, it is in the preparation.  I thought it would be fun today to do a tutorial for you on how to prepare and bake the classic English scone.   North American baking powder biscuits generally use all vegetable fat, and sometimes cream . . . scones usually use all butter, and sometimes butter and cream.  The two things are not the same thing at all, no matter how similar they might look.  Scones are sweeter as well, which makes them perfect for enjoying with a hot cuppa.   The first thing you will want to do is to sift your flour baking powder and salt into a bowl  I find that aerating the flou...

The Great British Sausage - A Tutorial

  Sausage wasn't something I enjoyed very much when I was growing up. I am not sure why.  I never really began to enjoy them at all until I was a grown woman and cooking my own.  I liked them almost burnt on the outside with catsup for dipping. My father enjoyed them dipped in mayonnaise.  As a child growing up in Canada, in my experience at least, there was only one kind of sausage.  Ordinary breakfast sausage, long thin cylinders of meat, stuffed into skins, fatty and flavoured with nutmeg and poultry seasoning. That was it. Growing up in the 50's /60's and early 70's in small communities meant that we were not exposed to outside flavours or choices.  We had what we had, and that was that. It was not until I was an adult that I experienced another kind of sausage. My sister-in-law who lived in Toronto had studied at the Cordon Bleu and was considered to be an expert in cooking.  We spent the weekend at hers once, and she cooked sausages for us for br...
