We’re crashing the front stoop of some friends who live in a very Halloweenie neighborhood, and I wanted to bring some non-sugar food.
I got some salumi, cheese and mustard, and I like to make little rolls so people can make tiny sandwiches, and on a whim, I decided to snip faces into them. I just used a plain old white yeasted frenchish bread recipe (with added rosemary) and then once I divided the dough into tiny rounds (about 1 1/2 ounces each) I let them rise, and when I turned on the oven to preheat, I used scissors to snip two straight lines for eyes, and one bigger line for the mouth. depending on whether I tugged up or down on the mouth-snip, they smiled or frowned a little.

I like your expressive little rolls. I wasn’t getting ot your site because I thought it was TheSlatherer.com
The one to the lower right looks mighty miffed. What a great idea!
I was making them all happy but then at the bottom decided to yank the scissors in the other direction to see if they’d look surly. I tried to get a variety of moods into the pic, but most of them were smiling.
