those rolls look amazing and i would love to try them but i’m one of those ignorant people who use us measurements and don’t know how they would convert. So, i’m curious why do you use US measurements in some recipes but not other? thanks.
Hi, thank you for the question, I’m from Europe, so normally I don’t use US measurments, although big part of my audience is from US, so I will try to write with US measurments from now on.
Here is the recipe for you in cups, hope it works for you, as these bread roll are amazing! 😀
2 ¾ cups white flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
4 tsp instant yeast (or one 0.25 oz packet)
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 cups + 2 tbsp lukewarm water
