Soft Dinner Rolls, the kind you lovingly pull apart and want to slather with butter while still warm, that’s the recipe Kathy and Angie were looking for. They had tried different ones yet couldn’t get the taste and texture they wanted so they reached out to me for some help.
I happily dove into research mode, comparing recipes and baking. Using the tips I know for success with gluten free yeast breads I came up with two different recipes for a final taste test. We had a private cooking class, made them both and this recipe for Soft Dinner Rolls was the clear winner.
This year I’ve been running a series of cooking classes making yeast breads. Teaching is the best way for me to put into practise everything I learn, even thought the learning never ends. Once you learn the differences about baking with gluten free flour you can eat your way to success.
I call these the New Basics and I write about them all the time. You’ll find many tips in my recipe descriptions but also in these blog posts.
These basics may be quite different from some of the rules you know about baking with wheat flour so being open to learning is a great first step.
America’s Test Kitchen is my most reliable source for the chemistry of baking and understanding why things work, or don’t work, with gluten free flour. I trust them and use that knowledge when I’m in the kitchen.
Every kitchen needs tools and these are some of the basics for this recipe.
I’ve moved on to pizza dough and savoury variations of this recipe but some people in my cooking classes said they were going to try making Monkey Bread. I can’t wait to hear about it and see their photos. That might inspire me to try it too.
In case you don’t know, Monkey bread is a sweet pull-apart bread baked in a Bundt pan. Small dough balls are dipped in butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar and then placed on top of each other in the pan.
