You can serve a regular bun in a completely different way. Small portions in your hand look like dessert
You don't have to bake a bun in a large baking dish. You can make small cupcakes from older rolls and apples that are easy to slice and look like dessert on a plate. They stay wonderfully soft inside, while the edges of the pastry brown nicely in the oven.
Žemlovka is a traditional sweet dish that makes great use of old white bread. If you prepare it in smaller molds instead of a baking dish, you will get individual portions. You will not lose any of the popular combination of bread, apples and fragrant cinnamon.
