Cup4Cup Gluten-free Rolls |
Back in the day when I was growing up in Bakersfield, a
holiday meant eating more food at one sitting than you normally ate in the two
entire days previous.
And then, everyone needed a nap.
And then, we ate again.
It was also the time my Mom broke out the ‘fancy’ roll
recipes.
Sure, we had whole pans of “pull-aparts” featuring oatmeal
or milk with our meals on a regular basis, but a special occasion merited a
3-part “clover” or split “Parker house” style roll made in a muffin tin.
Sad to say, I haven’t a neat gluten-free version of those
down yet – but I do have a pretty good GF roll recipe to share.
Cup4Cup GF Crostini |
These are best served hot from the oven. They reheat well and can be sliced, toasted,
and made into crostini or croutons.
Cup4Cup GF Pizza |
I even made a springy 12-inch pizza crust that was crispy on
the bottom – because there are always Christmas feast leftovers to use as
toppings.
