My teen daughters insisted I start including the missing parts as soon as they realized it was supposed to be there. LOL! We used raisins for the side parts, and a small tube of dough for the...well, you know. (Not sure I can say that bit.) Prepare your baking sheet while the bread machine prepares the dough.
