Fluffy dinner rolls

It’s no secret that I love bread. In fact, one of my secret wishes is to enroll in the San Francisco Baking Institute. Maybe in another life – since I do live on the East Coast and am quite certain that I won’t be able to get away for the year!

Good thing is that I’ve just learned the the SFBI offers some online classes…yay!! And, the founder of the SFBI, Michel Suas, has written one of the best books on Bread called Advanced Bread and Pastry. It is no longer published but is available on Amazon.com

But, I digress – for now, we have these rolls, which were fairly simple to make. If you are pressed for time, I believe you can skip the cold rise and just do a warm bulk rise instead. My rolls came out a bit heavy and so I’ve made a note in the recipe to use caution when adding flour and only use enough to form a soft dough that is no longer sticky.

Fresh baked bread is always a hit, and I’m planning to experiment with many more recipes including a Pullman loaf, baguettes, English muffins, hamburger rolls, ……
