My son loves the Against the Grain rolls. but they're expensive and I think I could make something similar with a good recipe.

Anybody have a recipe for a gluten free roll that uses mozzarella cheese? I could experiment, but the ingredients are so darned expensive.

Thanks!

They are tapioca flour and mozzarella mostly... But I figured it out!

I found this recipe and it was remarkably similar.

They were super easy to make and everybody LOVED them. If you can have dairy, these are a dream come true!

I plan on making them all the time. I'll put fresh rosemary in them and serve them as dinner rolls, I'll make them bigger and use them for sandwiches.

They are a gluten free cook's dream come true!

I'll probably tweak them a bit. I think they could use a pinch of salt, and I think I'd double the baking powder next time. But WOW. I'm always trying to find stuff that's not sweets that is easy to bring on the go and these little guys are just the thing!

Sorry, very excited about this!

There's other recipes out there that use milk and oil in addition to the tapioca and cheese. But we're trying to loose weight, so I went with the lower fat version. If you google Brazillian Cheese rolls, you'll get more recipes.

I wonder if I could substitute Feta for the oaxaca cheese? I don't know what got into me the other day at Costco when I bought a giant vat of Feta ...

The rolls look DELICIOUS!

Thanks for the link to the Yucca bread recipe. I, too am addicted to Against the Grain rosemary rolls and would love to be able to make my own. Can't wait to try this recipe. They make fabulous hamburger buns.

I made these last night and was not to happy. They flattened out and several fell. What size pan do you use? I'm thinking I should have used a smaller one - mine was 9 by 13. They Tasted just alright.

this recipe needs something.

i tried these last night. i used the cup of tapioca flour and baking powder, then added two large egg yolks and the mozzarella. the dough did not come together at all. added milk for liquid because my cream was bad... maybe that was my problem. but even after adding liquid it still did not help at all. so my sister and i looked at the crumbles of tapioca cheese stuff.... and decided instead of giving up we might as well add the egg whites since they were just sitting there. then the dough looked exactly as described so i thought okay now we're doing good. we rolled off ten balls and put them in a round pan. and it came out like one big piece of flat bread. it tasted good but i think next time i'll have to try a different recipe or getting cream and seeing if that works better than plain milk. my guess is yes. next time i check the expiration date <_<

live and learn :lol:

I used 2 whole eggs (instead of just the yokes) and double acting baking powder and I used half and half for the cream. I used Sargento shredded mozzarella for the cheese. They puffed up pretty good.

I've found I get much better results when I use a double-acting baking powder such as calumet as opposed to Rumsfords.

Good luck and I'm sorry they're not working out so great!

I made them again tonight... I would recommend using a larger cookie sheet to keep them separate instead of putting them together like dinner rolls. They do spread quite a bit before they puff up. I upped the recipe by 1/2 and made 6 larger ones in a muffin top pan that I got from A M A Z O N and I made 6 smaller ones on a cookie sheet. We used the larger ones for hamburger buns and they were really good.

I used the whole eggs and half and half. It's very hot here and the dough got dry very quickly when I was making the balls, so I tried to get them in the oven as quickly as possible.

I have a picture of what I made, but I can't seem to post a picture here unless it's on line. I'll e-mail it to anybody who wants to see what they looked like.

Here's a link to my adapted version with photos... It's not so different from the recipe, but the results were great.

I don't think you could make this with feta though. You really need the chewy-ness of the mozzarella to make these:

Margaret,

Thanks for the link. I've saved the recipe and will definitely be making these.

made these last night. mine did not puff up as much as yours did in the picture, but they were decent. Followed your directions to the T. Maybe I need to grind the mozz more? I used finely shredded, left out to warm a little, straight from the bag. Do I need to grind more in a processor?

I will definitely try again--I haven't tried the real thing yet because I have to order a case (12) of the Against the Grain rolls and it's killing me to shell out that much "dough" :D:lol: at one time.

Thanks

Did you use Rumsford Baking powder? I find it doesn't work as well as Calumet, or even the generic brand.

I used Clabber girl. Made them again this morning in a regular muffin pan and they puffed right up.

Will be buying myself the muffin top pan because I intend on making these A Lot!

Both "men folk", (DS14 and DH) came home yesterday telling me how great the bread was in their lunches--just sliced in two and made sandwiches with the rolls. Mind you, I made their lunches at 6 am and they didn't eat until after 12 and the bread did not need microwaving and did not crumble or become soggy.

I think you saved me a small fortune!! Thank you.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest...

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.

      @Mark Conway, here is an article outlining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. By far, the most popular one ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA. But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test.  In addition to IGA tests there are IGG tests which are particularly useful in the case of IGA deficiency.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!
