Welcome toThe Cheaters Guide to Thanksgiving.
Theres no real need to make scratch bread for Thanksgiving dinner.
Butter-up your fully baked rolls
There are a lot of decent-to-great quality rolls available in the market.
Im a huge fan of Kings Hawaiian rolls.
Those little buns are way too tasty for anyone to resist.
Unpack your rolls and nestle them into a buttered casserole dish, one where the fit is pretty snug.
If you only have huge casserole dishes, make a fake one out of foil.
Thoroughly coat the rolls in butter so the tops are gleaming, and sprinkle with flaky salt.
Pop these in a 350F oven for about five to seven minutes.
Youre just warming them up.
Remove them from the oven and give them a few minutes to cool.
Take the warmed rolls out of the pan and tear them into individual rolls if they arent already.
Pile the rolls up in a bread basket loosely covered with a tea towel to serve.
(There are actually a lot ofthings your local grocery store can help you with.)
To finish off the cooking process at home, preheat your oven to 400F.
Put the dinner loaves on a baking sheet; theres no need to line it with anything.
Use a pastry brush to brush the water over the crust of the bread.
Bake it like I mentioned above.
The crust will crisp and the water will evaporate leaving behind a thin coating of salt.
Slice the bread and serve it in a bread basket alongside soft salted butter.
Generally, youll just follow the directions on the bread’s packaging.
Usually the thawed dough will need at least 30 to 45 minutes at room temperature to proof.
Always allow freshly baked bread to cool completely before slicing with a serrated knife.
