Tartaruga Mozzarella

I'm really digging turtle bread lately. So I made more! Baking bread is so fun and rewarding. Of course it can be a bit time-consuming (especially when making cool-shaped breads), but it's definitely worth it.
Last week I baked one plain, large turtle bread. This time around, I baked four little Italian turtle breads seasoned with fresh garlic, dried herbs and filled with yummy cheese. These are the same as the mozzarella balls I posted last time, but they're bigger and shaped like turtles.
The dough already smelled yummy while it was resting (all thanks to the garlic).
I ♥ fresh mozzarella cheese!
I think the turtles look their cutest when they're puffing up in the oven. :)
Nice & golden! And still cute.
My bread turtles like resting on fresh herbs.
And, of course, you gotta see the inside — melted, gooey mozzarella.

These turtles are a lot smaller than the turtle bread I baked last week. They ended up being 5½" (14 cm) from head to tail and 2½" (6½ cm) high. So cute! They're really tasty when you tear pieces off and dip them in marinara sauce — yum!

ah! these are too cute!
Awww, so adorable...I wouldn't want to eat them...too cute. ;)
Thanks, Budding Cook and Rasa. :) I really love turtles, so it was cool making breads that look like 'em.
I love your blogs and your ultra-adorable creations! Wow, you're so talented.
Anyway, I was inspired by your turtle bread. I just recently bought a bag of pre-made, ready-to-bake dough from Trader Joe's for about $1. So I decided to make little turtles from it. Thanks for the great idea! I think I'm going to make them for a party.
Thanks, mushroommeadows! I'm happy that the turtles were inspiring. :)
Cute! Have you every tried stuffed one of those with meat?
Hi Pirikara . No, I haven't tried it with meat yet. I think, if I do, it'll probably be Italian sausage, pepperoni or maybe even shrimp. It can be like a calzone, but shaped like a turtle. ^__^
