Bread-on-a-Stick at the MN State FAIR (and a Book Giveaway!)

Zoe,
The rolls are great, we live near the fairgrounds so we will be there, but unable to attend your demonstration since 5:00 p.m. is the worst time of day for my son, a toddler. I’ll be sure to stop by and fill out a ticket.

These would be fantastic for a get together for the holidays or for a group of kids. What a teriffic idea.

Nothing says fair like food on a stick! Lovely idea…

Dough doesn’t need to rise after being placed in the mini-muffin tin? Fab! I know a 6-1/2 year old who will love these! She’ll really dig the stick idea. Thanks.

That´s a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing!

State fair! Cinnamon roll on a stick! It doesn’t get much better than that. Have a great time at the fair and thanks for the inspiration.

The rolls on a stick look wonderful. I’m hoping to stop by the fair, and I’m really looking forward to taking your classes at Byerly’s and Cooks of Crocus Hill in September and November.

Great idea! I’ll have to go read the detailed instructions. Sorry I won’t be able to meet you and Jeff, but the earliest we can get to the Fair is Labor Day weekend. But I’ll have to stop by for the Raffle.

Will you be posting instructions for these clever little treats? Or did I miss them?

We are in peach and plum heaven here in northern Indiana — pies, jams, tarts. My twelve year-old made her first pie this week and it was scrumptious! I am so proud of her, especially considering that I did not make a successful pie from scratch until I was around thirty-eight. We’ve all agreed that she should make at least one a week in order to properly master the recipe

That is the cutest idea! I would definitely do that for a summer brunch.

This is the most interesting idea I have come across- amazing really! They look delish!

Cinnamon rolls on a stick?
I think I’ve just found heaven… and an method of moderation.

Love this idea! Much to my great dismay I am on a wheat free regiment due to health issues. It is killing me! My kids have asked why we haven’t had any Zoe bread recently. We are all suffering.

Wow, I’ve never thought of cinnamon rolls on a stick. My kids would love that. There’s a local restaurant here that makes huge breadsticks on a dowel and they definitely are the best breadsticks around. I’ll have to try these!

yeah, i’ll toss my hat in for a free book. especially if it is signed by the uber-fab-fab-fabulous zoe francois!

jeff? ok, sure…

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the wonderful comments, enjoy the sticky buns.

Char, so glad you and your 2 year-old are perusing the site. It is a great sign for the future if he is already that interested in food!

I do take all the pictures. I just got a new camera that I’m just trying to figure out.

Thanks!!! Zoë

The buns on a stick are so cute!The kids would love these at next Sunday’s family reunion. Great idea! Steph

Hi Zoe!

What a great idea!…Of course you would think of it! All of us bread lovers appreciate you so much! Thank you for being you!

Must. make. it. to. the. fair! I NEED those yummy looking cinnamon rolls on a stick. Kudos to you for all your hard work. The accolades are well deserved.
I’m on my 5th recipe from your book as we speak!

Oh yum! Those look delish. I hope they were well-received!

Oh my, I was in MN for a wedding one state fair weekend. It was amazing, though I left with a serious stomach ache. I think your stick idea looks delicious. (BTW, thanks for visiting.)

I LOVE cinnamon bread sticks…thanks!

Hi Gina,

I’m so glad you are enjoying the book.

Did you make the eclairs in the last round of Daring Bakers? I’m in the midst of writing another book and haven’t been able to participate in the challenges. Sigh! If you did, I’d love a link to your site so we can see your work.

Thanks, Zoë

I love your book and would be thrilled to get a signed copy of the book!!!

I’ve introduced many of my friends to your bread and your book – and several of them are hooked on the bread and the book just like me!!

I can’t wait for your second book to be published!

This is such a brilliant idea, and opens up all sorts of lovely possibilities for my favourite sweet breads on a stick – or special savoury breads too. I can see this becoming a favourite at our family gatherings, starting with Father’s Day. Thanks for such a brilliant concept, Zoe! (And inspirational photography too! I’ll have to photograph my first attempt this weekend, I think!)

Courtney, it might be worth asking if you can have 100% spelt. It does contain gluten, but can usually be tolerated by people who are allergic to wheat itself. I do a lot of cooking with spelt and most breads can happily be made by directly substituting spelt for wheat. It’s worth asking about as if it’s OK, it will make life and eating so much easier while you’re wheat free!
