Gameday Soup and a Bun

There's nothing I like better on a crisp, cool Autumn Saturday than to cook one of my favorite meals, Pasta e'Fagioli with some homemade bread.  It's so wonderful to have a game on the TV in the background as I fill the house up with wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen.

The Pasta e' Fagioli soup is a copycat recipe from Olive Garden that I found a few years ago on the internet somewhere and I've been making it since.  You can get the recipe for the soup here:  Pasta e' Fagioli

The bread recipe was VERY simple to make.  One of my top favorite bloggers, "La Table de Nana" made it first and I just had to copy her :)  Check her version here but please don't compare and don't laugh at mine after you see hers, lol!:  http://latabledenana.blogspot.com/2014/09/philoher-snapsand-petits-pains-d.html

This is how I made mine:

Here's the dough after I let it rise for an hour.  I then sectioned it in 6 pieces (couldn't get the 8 like the recipe asks for).

I rolled out each piece and cut like picture above

I then started to roll it from one corner and kept going.

and then rolled it up and tucked the edges under.  Carefully picked it up

and placed it on a baking sheet covered with a silicone baking mat (parchment paper works just as good).  I covered them with the Olive Oil after I rolled them up.  Tried putting the Olive Oil on before I cut and rolled them up but it was too difficult to roll.  I then let them set for about a 1/2 hour.

Sprinkled this one with Sesame Seeds (this was the only one I sprinkled because I like my bread plain).

Baked in a 375F preheated oven for 17 minutes or until golden brown.

 and enjoyed it with my favorite Gameday soup.

Give it a try I promise you, you won't regret it!
