I had to tweak a little therefore the carb counts went to 4 net which is still good for me. I replaced 1 cup of CQ with 1 cup wheat bread flour and allowed the rolls to rise 45 minutes instead.I also baked them at 375 degrees. Please be sure to check your dates on the yeast packages. When I bake them again for Thanksgiving, I will add a little Splenda since my family has always loved my regular rolls being a little sweet. Out of this same recipe you can make bread sticks, buns, cinnamon rolls, etc... Use your imagination.

Was really looking forward to these; but my batter would not rise. Finally put them in the oven anyway and they baked into exactly the same still little balls I made them in. I didn't have a dough hook, so I kneaded with my hands. It's always worked with regular hot roll mix. Flavor was good, made bite size bread balls.

I made breadsticks with this.....added a T of garlic powder and sprinkled sea salt on top. Tasty enough, but never really rose ...more like pretzel sticks....which isn't all bad. I made 16 sticks, and now that carbquik ia only 6 net carbs per cup, each one was 3 grams net carbs....probably less because presumably the sugar gets eaten by the yeast...

fluffy traditional yeast roll taste and texture...delicious!
|
|
Cons:
|
had to tweak the recipe and rising time to get a great end product
|

The original recipe was only okay and did not rise much. I tweaked the recipe (adjusted recipe listed below), divided dough into 12 servings rather than 36 to make larger rolls, extended rising time to 45 minutes on a sunny window, and increased oven temp to 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden. They came out fantastic, exactly like real yeast rolls!!!! they rose very high, baked up golden.
Here's my recipe:
1 C warm water
2 Tblsp sugar (dissolved in water)
1 Pkg rapid rise yeast dissolved in the warm water
2 C carbquik
1/4 granular splenda
1/2 C vital wheat gluten (which adds needed "strechyness" to dough and also helps it rise higher). this adds 12 carbs to entire recipe, adds 1 net carb per roll.
1/2 C unbleached wheat flour (adds 25 net carbs to entire recipe-about 2 carbs per roll if 12 large rolls are made).
1 large egg
I added the bubbly yeast water mixture to all of the dry ingredients, then added the egg, stirred to make sure everything was well blended, then kneaded dough in my stand mixer using the dough hook for 7 minutes. I cut dough into 12 sections, pulled each section into a a 7 inch strip, then rolled up tightly (cinnamon roll style), placed each section in lightly greased muffin tin, brushed tops lightly with olive oil, covered with saran wrap, then set near a sunny window for 45 minutes. the dough rose up very high, and baked up fluffy and golden...i polished one off right out of the oven, and boy was it good!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we have! I have a picture if anyone would like to see the final product.
