I messed up the butter mixture by melting the butter. It is better to keep the butter in a spreadable consistency to prevent it from flowing out while cutting. Even with the messy filling, the rolls turned out...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/09/cinnamon-rolls.html/feed 2 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/08/artisan-bread-bowls.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/08/artisan-bread-bowls.html#comments Sat, 06 Aug 2016 21:00:56 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=17598 Tried bread bowls at Panera and wanted to make it at home. Rather than having bread on the side along with soup, this is a cute way to serve soup. Recipe from here. Cute bowls ready.

Like the name says, there is no kneading involved and no huge mixer bowls to clean in my case. I  have to say that I am pretty impressed with the bread and it is extremely easy...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/05/english-muffin-bread-no-knead.html/feed 0 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/clover-leaf-dinner-rolls.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/clover-leaf-dinner-rolls.html#comments Sat, 02 Apr 2016 01:57:49 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=20042 My kids love dinner rolls and I love experimenting with the various shapes of dinner rolls available. I have used a combination of wheat and white flour, but you can use all white if needed. This is a fun kind of roll to make with kids. I had earlier posted crescent rolls and plain rolls.

The process is pretty simple and uses the usual bread ingredients. The one new thing about the recipe is the glaze that is made of corn starch and water. It also took a...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/02/bolillos-mexican-rolls.html/feed 2 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/01/rye-bread.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/01/rye-bread.html#comments Wed, 06 Jan 2016 00:52:43 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=21459 Rye bread has been on my list forever and I was waiting to get caraway seeds to try it out. The bread is pretty simple and can be put together quickly. I used a stand mixer to make the dough, but you can knead it by hand or food processor.

If you are not used to handling such wet dough, you might get frustrated at first.

I made crescent rolls, bread sticks and these rolls during that time. The dough is essentially the same for all, but different ways to shape it of course.These rolls were a joy to make and the...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/02/whole-wheat-parker-house-rolls.html/feed 0
