My husband made these lovely Saturday morning breakfast bread buns. I must admit there is something magical about a man in the kitchen early in the morning… Yes, undeniably I am immensely proud of him and he is all mine!
I love Saturday and Sunday morning breakfast at home. No stress and rush to quickly leave for work. No haste to speedily drink my coffee. Savouring every taste, leisurely stretching the time by talking sitting around the table this is our time of togetherness, our time of planing and anticipating the delights of the starting weekend. Indulging in the moment, our table is never shy. Home made scones, American pancakes, toasted bread with speck and scrambled eggs, Bulgarian bjurek. This morning, we savoured these delicious home made bread buns, spread with a thin layer of butter and generous spoonfuls of home made strawberry jam.
