123 Rolls


Being newly diagnosed with Celiacs, I was very scared for Thanksgiving. I was sad that I would not be able to enjoy my favorite Thanksgiving staples like rolls, pie and green bean casserole. My family was very loving and supportive of this change though. My sister even made sure to get a gluten free turkey!

Instead of putting the pressure of finding some gluten-free rolls out in the small town my sister lives it, I offered to bring the rolls. Please keep in mind I am not a baker, I can cook just fine but when it comes to baking- store bought is my friend!

I was very lucky to find a box of roll mix by 123 Gluten Free.
The dough was sticky and quite messy. I found the easiest way to get to dough into the pan was to scrape it with my fingers (don't worry I washed them really well before hand).


A few empty spots in the pan, but the directions do say to put some water in the empty tins. I think it helped keep the other muffins moist. The directions just mention the muffin tins, however I believe they are referencing the 12 tin pans. I only had one 12 tin pan and two 6 tin pans but I am not sure it made a difference, they where all baked at the same time and only a few turned out really gooey in the middle. 
This is the final result of my rolls. Seeing as how only 4 of 16 rolls are left I judge this box of rolls a success and do recommended it to others. They taste like a whole grain roll/muffin and do not taste like they are gluten free. They are very filling though, the other day I had two for lunch and I was stuffed! 

You can purchase 123 Gluten Free Aaron's Favorite Rolls from my Amazon Store. Along with other products mentioned in this blog.

Welcome!

Welcome to my latest project, Oh Silly Yak. I was recently diagnosed with a disease called Celiacs (pronounced Silly Yaks for those who do not know). After years of feeling sick and not up to par, I switched to a Gluten free lifestyle and started feeling better from day one.

I wanted to start a blog about my journey threw this lifestyle change. I have never been a baker, but baking your own bread and cupcakes is more cost effective then hunting down a gluten free bakery, although more are popping up all around. There are more gluten free products on the market, more support and information then ever before and this is my journey of discovery. I will offer information that I find, recipes that I try as well as other adventures that deal with Celiacs.
