I made these rolls today and although they weren't the prettiest things, the taste was fantastic. I have trouble slashing. I made eight rolls and put them on my half sheet pan. It wasn't quite big enough so they became attached. I will definitely be doing this recipe again. It seems that I never get the oven spring shown on the blog but I'll keep plugging. Also I cooked them at 450 as suggested in order to make sure I got a shattering crust for 22 minutes and allowed them to sit in the oven for an hour. Thanks for the recipe KAF.
Marietta, are you using SAF instant yeast and King Arthur Flour? Watching the amount of salt closely? I'm trying to figure out what might be affecting your oven spring. Is your oven up to temperature, measured on an independent thermometer (aside from the oven temperature dial)? Keep at it- experimenting is always delicious, isn't it? :) PJH
