Dinner Rolls Three Ways – Overthinking Classics

October 11, 2021 No Comments

Today is Canadian Thanksgiving Monday, so you might be wondering why I’m posting a piece about dinner rolls now. Well, I like to think of Canadian Thanksgiving as the kick-off to the holiday season. While it’s true Canada’s Thanksgiving is more or less in the rearview mirror, American Thanksgiving is a little more than a month away. And a mere week after that is Hannukah. And after that, well, I don’t think I have to tell what comes after that. Basically, we have a marathon of feasting ahead, so it’s in your best interest to know your way around a dinner roll. So today, I bring you the latest installment of my ongoing YouTube series Overthinking Classics where we will explore three ways of approaching the classic dinner roll.

For many people, this week marks a return to reality. The return of structure in the form of schedules and appointments, bedtimes, and wake-up calls. And while it is sad to bid adieu to the party atmosphere of summer, I must admit, I am keen to return to something a little more routine. But when it comes to the kitchen, nothing has changed. Food offers little pockets of jubilation, and I for one am more than happy to let the good times roll. So in the spirit of jovial cooking and in celebration of the Jewish New Year, I’m serving up these Honey Apple Challah Tarts.

The summer is winding down and if I have one regret about my otherwise enjoyable summer, it’s not having enough shortcake. The shocking truth is you’re looking at the extent of my shortcake activities this year. Yes, I know. Strawberry season somehow escaped me. I apparently did not live my summer to its fullest. But regardless of whether you, like me, are making up for lost time or simply looking to squeeze what’s left out of summer, these Blueberry Biscuit Shortcakes are a perfect choice. So let’s start breaking these puppies down.

Tomato season has arrived here in Ontario and I couldn’t be happier. To say I’m a tomato fan would be an understatement. Since day one, I’ve been a tomato sandwich (with plenty of mayo, please and thank you) fan. Bruschetta is my love language and the Caprese is my go-to starter at any Italian restaurant. I adore tomatoes especially peak tomatoes. So, when tomato season rolls around, I want to add tomatoes to everything but I want to do almost nothing to them. It’s a bit of a conundrum really. But dishes like this Fresh Heirloom Tomato Pizza are the perfect workaround. This bad boy makes a meal out of tomatoes, without masking any of their considerable attributes.
