Big Buns for Dinner
Curry Garlic Buns to be Exact
For whatever reason, I never considered myself to be much of a baker. It felt like too many measurements, too long of a wait time, and way more focus than I was willing to give. This year, I’ve been baking more and think I might love it just as much as I love cooking now.
Baking bread at home is relaxing and not all that hard. It's also incredibly cheap because most bread recipes only require a few simple ingredients. Once you have a recipe you love, you can even apply it to different types of bread. Today’s roll recipe is derived from my cinnamon roll dough with a few savory tweaks.
I made these for a family gathering and they were the first plate of food to go. Believe me when I tell you, homemade bread will always be 1000x times better than anything you can buy at the store. This recipe is the proof.
A few things about the flavor:
Don’t worry, these rolls don’t taste like a bowl of curry in bread form. I wish more people would think of curry as a flavor enhancer instead of an all-defining spice. Curry is a powerful seasoning agent that doesn’t take over, but adds a depth of flavor and warmth to your food. Depending on how you use it, almost every recipe can benefit from just a pinch.
These rolls are subtle, yet still garlicky, comforting, and addictive. To get the beautiful, twisted dough requires some technique, but I have it all laid out for you below in a few simple steps.
This is one of those recipes you can’t go wrong with. It’s a crowd pleaser or perfect if you’re in the mood to treat yourself to freshly baked bread.
