Bread Crowns

Annalise brought home a Sunday School paper that had an extension activity to make crowns out of bread dough.  (The lesson was about King David.)  It sounded like fun and qualified as our weekly art project and a hot lunch all in one.


I made regular roll dough (which is a half batch to begin with) and divided it into four portions that I patted into rectangles.  I snipped them twice to make points.  It turned out that the two side pieces sort of leaned out and looked pointy on their own, but I had to shape the middle point.  After the proofing, I brushed them with an egg wash and the kids and I decorated them with bits of cheese, raisins, poppy seeds, and caraway seeds.

Ready for the oven.
