Sun Dried Tomato, Onion and Garlic Bread Rolls GF SCD

Grain and Gluten Free Sun Dried Tomato, Onion and Garlic Bread Rolls

We watched a documentary last year showing how they undertook the most challenging big cat rescue ever, saving 13 lions from shocking conditions in the run down Oradea Zoo in Romania. The cats were rehabilitated and released into a 9 acre reserve at the end of May 2010. We decided to visit the Yorkshire Wildlife Park this year as part of my birthday celebrations, it was a fantastic day out.

Thankful to have some beautiful weather, seeing the lions in "natural" surroundings as well as the other animals at the park was an amazing experience and we even managed to catch a glimpse of one of the two tigers that had arrived at the park earlier this year.

Since we decided to take a picnic I made SCD bread rolls that we could all enjoy.
