Gluten-Free Baps (Scottish Rolls)

[Yvonne (Vonnie) Mostat, RN]

This recipe started out as being from Scotland, and if you ask a Scot today they will tell you that they invented them.  But then, Cornwall and Yorkshire say it was invented by them. So it is a British Isles Recipe and easy to make

• 1 tsp/ of sugar
• 1 tbsp of gelatin  (The dry gelatin that comes in packets
• 1 tsp. dried yeast  (ensure it is not expired)
• 2 egg whites  Once you have become versant with this recipe try adding an additional tsp. of dried egg white.  It is not in the original recipe, but it causes the BAPS to rise, to be a fuller bread.
• 1 tsp. of salt
• 1/2 tsp. citric acid   (we can buy it at the Pharmacy, or a specific baking store where they have different flavorings and baking pans, and specialty items for baking
•  250 grams  (8 0z) of superfine Gluten Free Flour. I have been using Bob's One to One gluten-free Flour and it turns out well with it.  Also. be careful with your measurements. in
• Britain and Northern Ireland they follow the grams measurements  so watch you do not put 250- grams of gluten-free flour thinking it means a CUP. You will be overflowing with flour.
• 1 tbsp. of olive oil

Grease an extra large muffin tin with some dairy free margarine. Place the sugar and gelatin in 1 Cup of cold water and let stand for 1 minute to soften, or until the liquid is clear. Add the yeast and stand for 10 minutes.

Whisk the eggs, salt, and citric acid in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until stiff. Tip the flour into the yeast mixture. \beat in the oil and egg whites until stiff.

for about 1 minute with electric mixer.  Cover and let stand again for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 360F/ 180 C

Remove from the oven and wrap in a clean kitchen towel to cool, then place in a plastic bag until ready to serve.

BAPS are simple bread rolls made with yeast. The outside is wonderfully crisp whilst the inside is soft, airy, and just waiting for a slab of butter
