zwieback with friends

Earlier this week my friend Patrick decided that he would like to tackle making a traditional Mennonite food, zwieback. These are dinner rolls that have a second ball of dough on top. Patrick invited me and another friend Sarah to come over to he and Abbe's house to bake with him this weekend.  We are having a Mennonite potluck at church tomorrow, so these are a contribution for that.  We got together last night for dinner and making zwieback.  Aside from the top balls leaping off while baking in several cases, we had great success with Patrick's Grandma Buller's recipe and using Abbe and Patrick's Kitchenaid mixer.  They were wonderful!
