I’m making rolls for Thanksgiving, and planning on making your recipe, though I’ve never made them before – how’s that for trusting you? Lol.
I have never shaped rolls using a biscuit cutter before – I’ve always formed balls, then shaped them. My biscuit cutter is fluted. Should I opt for a drinking glass instead?
And my last question (for now) do you bake them on a cookie sheet, or in a cake pan – like, do the sides touch and you have soft sides, or are they more like a hard roll, with crusty sides?
Camille:
This recipe won’t matter what you use to cut it. It’s very — springy. I’m not quite sure how to describe it. The dough is almost elastic? I think you’ll understand when you make it. I have used the fluted biscuit cutter and a glass and it didn’t matter. I don’t even roll it out. I kind of pat it out.
I did not like the way they turned out in the cake pan all together. The recipe worked, but the inside ones were too soft. I like them better separated on a cookie sheet. They won’t really be crusty – they’ll be browned and soft.
I’m excited you’re making it! This is such an amazing recipe!
Thanks! I appreciate the help. I’m happy that I can make them on a cookie sheet – I always end up with, say, 2 rolls too many for a cake pan, lol.
Have you ever substituted any of the white flour for whole wheat? I think that I will make white for Thanksgiving, as my mom is making dinner and everything is bound to be super-healthy, so some white rolls aren’t going to kill anyone. But just wondering for the future. Maybe if I substituted only 1 cup of the white flour for 1 cup of whole wheat?
That’s how I’m going to try it, but I’ve not done it yet. It’s SUCH an amazing recipe that I just haven’t really been willing to play with perfection. But it’s on my list of things I want to do. I’ll do half and half, then more then more. I have a grain mill on the way and we’re looking at buying grain in bulk to mill freshly, so soon I won’t be buying flour at all and will have to learn how to make all of my recipes with whole grain.
