I've been making rolls for about a year now using a long ferment time with a small amount of yeast following this instructional and recipe. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/crusty-european-style-hard-rolls-recipe  Its very time consuming and my results vary every time I make them and have successes and failures. I decided to try something new and had an interest in Al's post on Judy's buns. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/241462/judys-buns  I have to say they are a hit. I almost kick myself in the arse for not trying them earlier. The Mrs. really like them and they were perfect. great flavor, crust and texture and they were a whole lot easier to make. One thing I added to the recipe was king Arthur cake enhancer which is supposed to soften and make the bread rolls not harden so fast. This was recommended by the king Arthur help line to add when I was making the European rolls...

Thanks Al for the Thread. They are awesome and I'm ready to grab another one....................

Add 2 to 4 tablespoons (Box says 1 TBSP per cup of flower) cake enhancer to your cake batter or yeast bread dough, and your cakes and loaves will be softer, moister, and stay fresher longer.

  • Certified gluten-free and packed in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
[h5]Care & storage[/h5]

[h5]Test kitchen tips[/h5]
We did the tests - it makes a noticeable difference!
[h5]More information[/h5]
And what IS Cake Enhancer, exactly? It's rice starch, polyglycerol ester, and mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids - complicated looking words, but nothing to be afraid of. These fatty acids come from vegetable fats, and act as emulsifiers, allowing fats and liquids to combine more easily. They also serve as stabilizers and texture enhancers. Widely used in commercial baked products, they keep baked goods fresh and soft, and help cakes stay light and fluffy.

I woke up this morning and the last 2 were soft and moist and didnt have a chance. Made another batch...
