rolls

Like so many others, we were visiting relatives during the Thanksgiving holidays.  That also meant that we had to provide some food for my wife and daughter since most of the family does not have a problem with gluten.  I tested Sweet Oven & Company's Cheese Rolls while I was over at my parents. 

Not only did my daughter like them, but almost every one of her cousins also wanted one.  We had to save a few back so that Charlotte had a few with her meals.  I can understand why the kids liked them.  This was the closest any gluten free roll has every gotten towards being a french baguette.   The crust had a hard crunch like bread should.  It did not crumble away like most gluten free breads.  It stood up to my teeth, and cracked from the pressure of my bite. 

The interior was a complete contrast.  While the crust was hard the bread was soft and chewy.  I was even able to roll it into little balls like a standard white bread.  This was unusual for a gluten free roll.  I suspect that the cheese replaced the gluten needed for these structures.

I also suspect the kids like this gluten free roll because it really is a cheese roll.  This wasn't a roll with some cheese flavoring.  This was a roll made out of cheese and made to look like bread.  It is not subtle in its flavor, but it is really good.  It would not replace a traditional dinner roll because the flavor is to strong, but is an excellent addition to a meal.  

As I stated before, we had to keep people out of these.  Once they tasted them, they wanted more.  These are going to be purchased again.
