If you don’t fancy the last warm finger or two of beer in your can, save it to bake into these fluffy, flavourful rolls
I
often don’t finish a large bottle or can of beer, leaving a bit in the bottom that barely seems worth saving. When I remember, I’ll pop it in the fridge and save it to add to a stew or batter, but today’s rolls are my new favourite way of using it up.
You’ll need just 150ml beer to make these fluffy, super-flavourful buns. They’re a serious treat, and wonderful straight from the oven or dipped into a hearty stew. To build good gluten strength, especially when working with wholemeal flours, always add any extra flavourings such as cheese and herbs after the dough has had its initial proving time. (Incidentally, you could also use up any cheese rinds you have lying around in this recipe – the buns will absorb their wonderful intense flavours and distribute them throughout the crumb.
