Mexican dinner rolls look awesome… yeah I had been using the rapid rise active dry yeast for a long time, somehow I wasn’t pleased with the outcome, and then I learnt that a normal instant good yeast would do the trick rather than some highly active kind… now it works like a charm every time.

I love bolillos. I enjoy tortas whenever I can – one of my favorite sandwiches.

Ben-
Those rolls turned out beautifully! Yeast is easy to use, but it does have it’s quirks to be conquered. It looks like you are well on your way!

What a yeasty feast!

I’ve been a bit of a yeastophobe too – but having been trying to push through it

I am glad you aren’t afraid of yeast anymore, because you have baked up the most astonishing variety of bread.
Thanks for participating, Ben.
I also revisited the Danish pastry dough and made croissants, plain and with chocolate.

Ooo now I want to go and make more Danish pastries!! Though I’d like to find another recipe that doesn’t use orange juice (or maybe I can replace that with water?) Everything looks delicious.

Maybe I’m just naive but I’ve never been scared of yeast, but have also seen a lot of bloggers who have expressed a fear or worry about it. I’m glad you’re working on it and not just avoiding it you’ve made some great looking bolillos.

Que bien! te quedaron los bolillos!!!

Yo una vez traté de hacer pan blanco, de caja (creo que en EU es el Sourdough o algo así) y me salío un bolillo gigante! muy bueno! jajaja!

Muy buen trabajo Ben!
