 <\/p>\n

With only 60 minutes left before the Sabbath dinner,<\/strong>
\nI\u00a0discovered\u00a0we had no challah left in the freezer!<\/span><\/p>\n

I had this microwave roll recipe to make a quick-fix dinner roll,
\nbut<\/span> for Hamotzi, Sabbath Challah, but there are other requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

The flour needed to be one of the 5 biblical <\/span>grains, and
\nso could only be oat flour to be gluten free.<\/span>
\nI altered my dinner roll recipe to this “Hamotzi” recipe.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

QUICK, SIMPLE INGREDIENTS:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(to\u00a0<\/span>yield 8 BIG challah rolls using a mold)<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whisk these dry ingredients together:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

2-1\/4 cups oat flour (or any GF or all purpose) or Make Your Own<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup arrowroot, tapioca, potato starch or GF blend
\n1\u00be tsp xanthan gum (omit if using a blend that contains stabilizers).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp salt<\/span>
\n1\u00bd tsp yeast or baking powder
\n*If for Shabbat and Hamotzi using 1\u00bd tsp yeast, (cover,
\nlet rise 30 – 45 minutes in a warm place).<\/span><\/p>\n

Mix & Add these warm liquids
\n(room-temperature)\u00a0 to the dry:
\n<\/strong><\/span>6 tbs. unsweetened applesauce
\n4\u00bd tbs. raw sugar maple syrup, honey, or date honey
\n4 eggs (best if separated, beaten separately)<\/em>
\n2 tbs. coconut oil (or olive, or avocado)
\n1 cup non-dairy milk (or water for Shabbat Challah)<\/span><\/span> Add gradually to the dry ingredients
\nuntil the batter can pour slowly off the edge of a mixing
\nspoon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Batter should be quite thick, but if it is too thick
\nto pour off a large serving spoon, add warm
\nwater 1 tbs. at a time<\/span><\/p>\n

Fold in Optional add-ins:<\/span>
\n1 tsp cinnamon,
\n1 tsp extract vanilla, almond, orange<\/span>
\n2 to 4\u00a0 Tbs. frozen blueberries, dates or any
\ndried fruit chopped, or chocolate chips.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nMicrowave (max. 4 rolls at a time) Two-Minutes!
\n<\/strong>When done they pull away from the mold slightly
\nand a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
\nMicrowaves vary, so you may need to add
\n10 or 20 seconds at a time and check again.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Or bake in the oven for <\/em>about 20 minutes ).
\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

If yeast is used, let it rise in the challah mold, (covered<\/span>
\nwith wrap or parchment), in a warm place for 25 to 35<\/span>
\nminutes, until puffy looking, but not doubled.<\/span><\/p>\n

To create a warm place, pre-heat your oven for only 1<\/span>
\nminute at 350-F with the light on. Then shut it.<\/span>
\nI baked it in a 350-F oven, not preheated, for 25 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

When done the batter looks pulled away from the mold<\/span>
\nand an inserted toothpick comes out clean.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*********************************<\/span><\/p>\n

If you aren’t in a hurry, always make these with
\ninstant yeast. <\/span><\/strong>I love the aroma and light texture
\nit creates.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOTES:<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Use yeast or baking powder for leavening, or both!<\/span>
\nYou won’t believe how light, fluffy, and sweet an<\/span>
\ninstant bun can be… And these taste just Yum!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThese cinnamon raisin buns<\/span>
\nwere made from this batter<\/span>
\nin a silicone flower molds in<\/span>
\nthe microwave in 1 minute.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To get any shape you’d like,<\/span>
\n<\/strong>You can bake this batter in any microwave-safe<\/span>
\nmugs, ramekins, or dishes or silicone molds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>Amazing!\u00a0 You can use instant yeast or
\nbaking powder or both. It’s magic! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From this same batter, you can also make muffins, instant
\nsandwich or burger buns, dinner rolls, sweet tea buns,
\nsavory seasoned herb buns! It’s failproof even if you don’t
\nmeasure or time them precisely perfect. The texture is
\nlight and fluffy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using a bowl or mug for a mold, these also make great GF<\/span><\/span>
\nCrumpets when slit in half and toasted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using a microwavable (or oven-proof) bowl as a mold,<\/strong>
\nyou’ll also get dome shaped burger or sandwich buns.
\n<\/span>Don’t exceed 3\/4″ <\/span>deep batt<\/span>er, and slit cooled rolls
\nhorizontally for the <\/span>burger\/san<\/span>dwich buns in this picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0I get this yummy <\/span>bread in a minute!<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>Even when I let it rise a little too long or not long
\nenough, or under-baked,<\/span> it has never failed.
\nYou can toast to further brown finished rolls in the oven
\non broil, or in a toaster oven.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This instant batter can make<\/strong> a fancy, yummy, Challah for<\/span>
\nShabbat, using a braided challah mold either made of tin<\/span>
\nor silicone. (Both molds Available on Amazon). I have made
\nthese as hot dog buns using a microwave corn-on-the-cob
\nmaker as a mold!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cool for a few minutes, then enjoy, or
\nplace wrapped cooled challah into freezer
\ncontainer to freeze until needed.
\nBest served warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*If you are using yeast for Shabbat rolls,<\/strong>
\nYou need to put the batter in greased molds
\nfill only 1\/2 (or less) of the mold or ramekin.
\nCover with greased parchment paper.
\nLet rise 25 to 40 minutes in a warm place free
\nof drafts, (the oven with the light on for warmth).
\nBake at 350\u00ba <\/span>until firm in appearance.\u00a0<\/span>
\nRemove from mold and finish <\/span>a cookie
\nsheet until browned.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nJust fill the mold 1\/4 inch from\u00a0the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

Batter will be quite thick.<\/strong><\/span>
\nPour into greased molds or tins and bake at 350.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Or Give them 1 minute <\/span>in the microwave and check for
\ndoneness. An inserted <\/span>toothpick should come out clean.
\nIf not done add time <\/span>at 30 second intervals.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can divide the batter and satisfy different<\/strong><\/span>
\nadd-in preferences and\/or molds.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

No Need to preheat the oven. Pour this batter into a greased<\/span>
\nmold or bowl or ramekin. Give them 1 minute in the microwave<\/span>
\nand check for doneness. An inserted toothpick should come out<\/span>
\nclean. If not done add time at 30 second intervals. OR Oven Bake
\n<\/strong>Bake at 350\u00ba about 20-30 minutes until browned.<\/span><\/p>\n

If not for Shabbat,<\/strong> these rolls above can also be made from
\nGF <\/span>flour blends, of up to 3\/4 oat or almond flour plus <\/span>1\/4
\ntapioca starch, and baking powder without yeast for leavening.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

About the Sabbath Hamotzi Challah:\u00a0<\/strong>
\n(for Shabbat Hamotzi blessing)
\nchallah is required to be more than 50%
\nof one of the biblical “5 grains.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be Gluten-Free Sabbath Challah<\/strong> oat flour is required<\/strong> .
\n(The 4 other grains are not gluten-free).\u00a0 If you cannot find
\nOat Flour, simply <\/span>Make Your Own<\/span><\/span>
\nIt is exceptionally economical.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Challah for the Sabbath requires yeast instead\u00a0of baking powder.\u00a0I was
\nable to let the batter rise, covered with plastic wrap or parchment, in a
\npre-warmed oven for 30 minutes. Then\u00a0I put the batter in two molds at a
\ntime in the microwave for 2.2 minutes at 100%.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I decided this is my go-to quick challah & roll recipe,
\nI bought\u00a0this braided challah mold on Amazon. I could
\nsee it took more batter than a mug’s worth to bake using
\nthese big challah molds instead of ramekins, and longer than
\n<\/span>a minute to bake them.\u00a0<\/span>So I baked them in the oven at 350\u00b0F
\nuntil they looked done and\u00a0<\/span>the toothpick came out clean.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\nHad I brushed them with egg and water when almost
\ndone, and put them back in the oven for 10 minutes,
\nthey’d have\u00a0<\/span><\/span>had a glossy brown crust.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI also put the microwaved ramekin\u00a0<\/span>muffins, (when
\ndone), in the oven on broil to\u00a0brown the tops.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nInstead of baking in the <\/span>microwave which doesn’t brown
\nthem, I made all 4 at one time, in the oven for 30 minutes
\nat 350\u00baF\u00a0 I did not preheat the oven\u00a0so they would continue
\nto rise gradually while the oven heated.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For breakfast warm with butter, or afternoon tea,
\nwith fruit spread.\u00a0Mix in dried fruit\u00a0or\u00a0chocolate
\nchips, glaze or frost or sugar the tops. For dinner
\nwith your favorite seasonings and a tbsp. less sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because all items in microwaves absorb power, I cut
\noff one silicone mold from a sheet of 6.
\nI placed the greased and filled mold, batter-side-up, on a
\nmicrowave-safe plate.
\n<\/span>Baking took 1 minute on full power in my microwave.
\nAnd here’s how they turned out using baking powder.<\/span><\/p>\n
