Oreo Banana Bread Rolls
Got some Oreo biscuits as Christmas present, so naturally I used them for baking, lol! Experimented by swiss-rolling the bread dough with fresh banana slices too. Turned out grrreeeat!

Peanut Butter Bread Rolls
After making Oreo bread here, I thought I should try the same recipe with my other favourite biscuit – Julie’s Peanut Butter biscuits! How lovely would it be for a bread to have a peanut butter flavour within the dough! So first, I separated the biscuits from their fillings and processed them into bits. Then…
