Simple Mills Artisan Rolls Mix

Eats, Kitchen, Recipes

Usually I like to make my own doughs from scratch, but sometimes I need something super quick. This is the best gluten free bread mix that I have found.

Of course, that doesn’t stop me from dressing it up a bit…

I followed the recipe and added the wet ingredients listed under loaf. I used extra virgin olive oil, homemade cashew and hemp milk (instead of water), a super high quality vinegar and eggs. I whisked together the wet ingredients and then folded them into the dry ingredients (I added a pinch of flaky sea salt to the dry ingredients). Then I folded in 2/3 cup of cassava flour to achieve a more dough like texture. I divided the dough into 8 individual size portions and arranged them up on a parchment lined baking sheet. I baked the rolls at 375 for 20 minutes.

These were so yum! Adding some minced garlic and/or rosemary would be awesome too!

Coffee

I made some coffee using my French press (Purity Coffee with reishi mushroom). I added ice to my glass and poured some vanilla extract over it. I poured the coffee over the vanilla ice and topped it with some slushy blue almond milk. To make the slushy milk, I used Real Good Juice Co blue almond milk and blended it with some ice. ❤️☕️🍄🧊💙🥛
