Ciabatta from the freezer. Good! I think I will freeze up a dozen ciabatta buns as backup. Two slices thick cut bacon, goot but not as impressive as it is just eating it solo. Eggs with... I think this was onions sauteed in wine. Because I'm fancy like that. Two eggs, scrambled. Thick sliced deli sharp cheddar.
Appearance 7/10
Flavor 6/10. Onions in wine were ok, but not stellar.

So I baked up some wheat rolls. I've made wheat bread in the past but it always comes out dense and unpleasant. Saw this recipe on pinterest where the rolls looked fluffy and light, so I was intrigued. Baked them in a 9x13 pan and they blew up. Huge rolls. The recipe calls for 24 in the pan, but if I had done that they would all be like 2" x 2" x 3 inches tall. So half the batch I doubled the size of the rolls, so they are twice as long. For a couple buns I doubled again, so they are the right length and width, but 3" tall is too tall for a breakfast sandwich bun. I could conceivably pack in half as much dough but flatten it more. But I guess I am just not really in love with these anyway. I'd say 6/10. maybe if I could settle the rising issue it could claw it's way up to 7/10. But these are not the final answer for this project. I might also try with half or maybe even 3/4 white flour, but I think this is kind of a dead end. Eggs, sauteed spinach, thick deli cheddar. Meat? I believe I left out the meat here since the sandwich was already so huge.
Appearance 7/10, looks nice, but can't really see the hugeness of the bun from this picture.
Flavor 7/10, good, but the bread was just too much. I only ate half of it for breakfast. Definitely a first. I slowly gnawed away at it until it was gone before lunch. I had been fasting for a blood test, so if I hadn't been I wouldn't have finished before lunch.

Another appearance of the wheat bun. I've got a bunch of them, and I will work my way through them. This entrant also has scrambled egg (MY GAWD, NO SPINACH?!?!), fancy dried ham, and sous vide chicken along with thick deli cheddar. And ketchup. Ketchup makes everything a little better.
Appearance 5/10 a bit sloppy, cheese not melted well.
Flavor 7/10 good. This is one of the half sized rolls so not completely insane portion of bread.

Another one! Half sized wheat roll. Still too much bread. Like 3x the amount of bread in a ciabatta roll. The roll was also kind of crumbly which was unappealing. Freezer sausage, deli cheddar, and a fried egg. Fried egg was messy, not suited for this application as I have said in the past. A bit more cooked than I've had in the past, but not solid. Cooekd hard fixes the messy issue, but I find that style to be inferior to scrambled.
Appearance 7/10. I like the rakish angle of the upper bun. And the whole thing looks good. But, as usual, too much bun.
Flavor 7/10 I enjoyed the sunnyside up egg as a change of pace. Also used three sausage patties, so it was, ahem, sausage forward.
