Oh, where would we be without wine? I'm sure men would have killed each other off long ago if not for the happiness the fine grape brings.To make these rolls, I spare some of the sweet must that is produced from pressing grapes. The rest of the must is carefully stored in dolium to make wine.
MUST ROLLS
Pour some must over flour, add anise, cumin seeds, the lard, and cheese. Work it together until you have a reasonable dough. Form rolls, then put one bay leaf under each of them. Bake.
This recipe comes from the good Cato, yet another man who understood the importance of learning the ways of the farmer. He came before Columella, for I remember the man giving credit to Cato in many parts of his work.
