Fluffy White Rolls, Take 2
Mission Fluffy White rolls has begun.
Last weekend, Ben and I scoured your comments. Well I scoured, he pointed and grunted, “Yes, no, maybe.” After collecting a stack of recipes, I picked two to try last Sunday: Pam’s and Barbara’s.
Pam’s turned out to be a success.
They were fluffy and soft, perfect with butter and honey.
I’m sure Barbara’s would have been too. Except I goobered them up. Worse than what this picture shows you.
Ben wasn’t amused.
But he ate enough Pam’s rolls to stumble into bed and fall into a carb induced sleep, so it all works out.
Next weekend, I’m trying more recipes. And I may try Barbara’s again, if I can get over my shame.
The mission continues….
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! A new Friday Five tomorrow!

Oh I want a cooking buddy to have a cooking weekend with!

well Pam and Barbara are two ladies who I’d trust with my kitchen and dry active yeast! Those both look awesome.

I love the ‘Great Fluffy Rolls’ experiment–like I said, I haven’t tried to make them…but I have heard that they are harder than they look (as with most simple things). That second photo looks ‘practically perfect.’
I Googled for recipes and thought that these looked good. I haven’t tried this recipe, but I’ve always been pleased with the recipes I have tried from King Arthur’s website:

I luv rolls, but I have to buy them.

Despite lacking amusement initially, I think Ben definitely enjoys the cooking perks there. I know I would.
January 19th, 2012 at 7:02 am
Yay! You found fluffy roll recipes that work. I want a carb coma right now.
January 19th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Yum!
January 19th, 2012 at 7:45 am

January 19th, 2012 at 7:53 am
Pam’s look amazing and soft!
January 19th, 2012 at 7:58 am
It’ll be fine. Try ‘em again. Stuff happens!!
January 19th, 2012 at 8:08 am
OH, now I have to get more flour and try them myself. Thanks (or my waistline thanks you)
January 19th, 2012 at 8:53 am
Oh, they both look great! I’d also eat them all in fall into a carb coma. Not pretty.
Good luck on the quest!

awwww. I’m sure you can do it!! We all make mistakes sometimes. (The first ones look yummy!
January 19th, 2012 at 11:18 am
I think you should try again and send them ALL to me.
January 19th, 2012 at 11:18 am
I could live off of rolls like that!
January 19th, 2012 at 11:23 am
Inviting rolls!
Happy Thursday to you!

LOL – well the Pam rolls look delicious to me Duckie.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
The look so good! I love trying out new recipes and sometimes things go wrong – well done on these!
Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog. Have a good end of week – not quite weekend yet
January 19th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Yum! I am a total sucker for bread…I could probably eat one of those whole pans if I let myself. Seems like a fun experiment with very little failure possibilities because all bread is good, right? Good luck with your future attempts!

I love bread. Any kind. And now, since Ben has given his seal of approval (evidenced by his falling asleep), I want to try that roll recipe too!
January 19th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Pam’s look fantastic. Hungry for some dripping butter and jam and those golden beauties! I have a fantastical butterhorn roll recipe that I’m going to post about in a week or so. I’ve made them for years and they can be frozen ahead of time. So perfect. Thanks for sharing your results with these – honest with the good and not so good
January 19th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Yum, I love rolls! Now I think that I might make some for dinner tomorrow
January 19th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
those rolls do look perfect with butter!
January 19th, 2012 at 8:42 pm
Sometimes things don’t work out. I thought the rolls looked great.
January 19th, 2012 at 10:05 pm
Yeah, so happy they turned out for you. Working with yeast can be tricky but yours look so delicious!
January 19th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
Mmm carb comas!
January 20th, 2012 at 12:18 am
Looking good but you really got to try my Parker House Rolls Duckie! They’re perfect for you and Ben! xxoo
January 20th, 2012 at 3:28 am
Mmmm..they look great, I would have gobbled them up too!! xx
January 20th, 2012 at 8:12 am
Nice job on the rolls. Breads can be so frustrating sometimes!
January 20th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
Yummy. Those look delicious. I’m not sure I could have taken a picture; they would have been digested long before the camera came out
