quinoa & arrowroot bread rolls These bread rolls are like white bread dinner rolls, similar to the Basco Brand bread mix but without the dairy (milk powder) and without the corn-based dextrose. The quantity is enough for 5 or 6 rolls - just enough to have with soup or dinner, but the quantity can easily be doubled to make more.

This receipe is Grain-free, gluten-free, milk and butter free and FAILSAFE but does contain egg. Enjoy!!!

Sift or whisk together:

1 heaped cup/150g tapioca starch (also called arrowroot)

1/2 cup/75g quinoa flour

1 tsp cream of tarter

1/2 tsp bicarb

1 tsp quar or xanthum gum

1/2 tsp salt

Then add:

1 egg

30 ml oil (1/8 cup) (use a FAILSAFE oil like sunflower or canola or otherwise use olive oil)

3/4 cup of water

Mix very well - it is recommended that you use an electric mixer for this as it is quite sticky and needs to be very well mixed. Beat for about 2 or 3 minutes.

Dollop large spoon-fulls onto baking paper lined tray - this mix will more than double in size when cooked so leave plenty of space. Makes about 6 rolls.

Bake for 30 mins or more at 180 °C fan forced or 200 °C normal electric (a moderate to moderately hot oven, 350-375 °F) until nicely browned.

Let cool before cutting open. A delicious roll that is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, perfect with soup or casseroles.

General Recipe Notes

All recipes measurements are in METRIC. If you wish to convert to imperial please use the convertor tool supplied on each recipe page and use the same (either all metric or all imperial) for the whole recipe.

Some points for American readers on metric measurements are:

1 cup is 250ml which is slightly larger than the imperial 1 cup of an 8 oz measure. 1 tblspoon is 20 ml which again is slightly larger than the imperial tablespoon measure of 15ml. In most recipes this should not make too much of a difference, especially if you exchange all metric for all imperial. Cookie recipes need accuracy however so if your cookies are not turning out (either too soft or spreading too much) the problem will most likely be the measures.

Nearly all recipes are cooked in a moderate 180°C oven, which is 350 °F / Gas 4.
