Cybele Pascal is my idol mom!

I finally got my copy of Cybele Pascal's The Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook. Thank you Cory! The book as travel from California to Hong Kong and Thailand and back to Hong Kong before I got it. It is definitely worth the wait!

The first thing off when it comes to baking bread, it is hard, and for allergen free ones even harder, because I can never find a easy to follow recipe and my bread either turned out really dense or like stone. One thing with Pascal's book is so easy to follow and she gives you great tips.

First of the bat, I tried her Continental Rolls, don't asked why I start at the back of the book. But that is what I usually do anyways read from the back couple chapters to see if I like the ending of the book before I read the book. Anyways ... so easy to make and my children loves them.

Directions that I find are great tips for any novice bakers like me:

Proofing yeast : warm water, light agave nectar and yeast

Rising dough: cover the dough with a tea towel, place a pan of very hot water in the bottom of the oven, put the dough in the oven and leave the dough for an hour with oven turn off of course for  30 minutes. The replace the water after 30 minutes and leave it for another 30 minutes.

my version of Pascal's rolls. i dusted it with flax seed meal.
