[Free gift!]( [Bring your roll-making in house]( Make Way-Ahead Dinner Rolls “I believe in the power of fresh bread . . . the puff of yeasty steam that rises as the delicately crisp crust is broken open; the way a swipe of butter melts and sinks into the feather crumb.” So writes Andrea Geary, long-time Cook’s Illustrated test cook and, clearly, a writer who loves bread. Her new brown-and-serve rolls recipe means you’ll never be more than 15 minutes from the comforts of homemade bread (and an economical alternative to store-bought rolls). And Thanksgiving? Yes, definitely the time to debut these beauties. Make them now, freeze and then finish baking on the big day. [Icon] Science In addition to starting with a moist dough that could handle two stints in the oven without drying out, here’s how we successfully divided baking the rolls into two stages: Parbake in a low (300-degree) oven: [Parbaked roll]( When you bake rolls in one go, a moderately high oven (375 degrees or so) takes the dough from raw to fully expanded and set to browned. To ensure that the dough would fully bake but stop shy of browning, we turn the oven down to 300 degress—which is still plenty hot enough to increase the activity of the yeast so that the rolls would properly expand. We then remove the rolls just when their interiors are fully set (they register 175 degrees) and their exteriors are still pale. Brown in a hot (475-degree) oven: [Browned roll]( We freeze the rolls, then place them in a hot oven just before serving, where they thaw and warm through as the crust turns a rich brown and develops lots of flavor compounds.

Use fresh green beans and our shortcut to make prep nearly as fast as opening a can of beans. Browning mushrooms creates deep flavor in the easy, creamy sauce, and the addition of a common pantry ingredient turns up the crunch quotient on the (yes, we kept them!) canned fried onions. [Icon] Member Comment “These are incredibly good! But now I REALLY can’t eat “regular” green bean casserole. This just has such a fresh flavor with a super nice crunch on top.” – Shaun B., All-Access Member [Icon] More Colorful Sides [Sous Vide Honey-Glazed Carrots with Lemon and Thyme; Baked Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Shallots and Hazelnuts; Celery Route Puree with Bacon, Garlic, and Parsley Topping]( [More cooking success and less stress!

Instead of adding the traditional cream, we soaked sliced apples in melted vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess and a rich vanilla flavor (the apples become pliable and pack easily into the shell). A sour cream-enhanced crust comes together quickly in a food processor and a mixture of melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and a good dose of salt makes a streusel crumble that’s supremely buttery. [Icon] Member Comments “We absolutely loved this pie. I’ve made several of the apple pie recipes on this site and this one tops the list for me. The buttery crust, the tender apples and the perfect cohesive sauce that holds it all together. And that topping . . . I love the sweet/salty crunch. I made it exactly as written and it turned out perfect. I’m definitely coming back to this one!” – Kristin S., All-Access Member “I have tried many apple pie recipes (crusts and fillings), and this is the only one I use.” – Helen E., All-Access Member [Icon] 2022 Thanksgiving Guide You could say we never stop thinking about Thanksgiving, between new recipe testing and planning our annual Thanksgiving Guide.
