Much the same as yesterday, but different enough: I had one of the rolls I made using the recipe at Mary's Test Kitchen stuffed with the mock crab salad recipe from Viet Vegan, chunks of grape tomato and cucumber, some avocado slices, and a couple of my salted chocolate chip almond bites.
The rolls were pretty stale by now, but I thought they'd soften if I filled them and let them sit. They did a little, but those buns are really a day-of-and-maybe-day-two recipe; they are not, by any stretch of the imagination, a particularly good recipe for bread to last a week. Oh, well. I did love everything else about this meal.

I wonder if the rolls would keep in the freezer? I usually freeze bread I know I won't use right away and it stays pretty fresh? This meal looks amazing and I definitely need to make those salted chocolate chip almond bites because they sound incredible.
ReplyDeleteI need to get into the habit of freezing my bread. I didn't have room in my freezer this time, because I hit up a huge Gardein-and-frozen-veggies sale several weeks ago.
DeleteI perpetually have issues with not quite fresh bread- usually toasting or even just a short bit in the microwave helps a lot, dunno if that’s an option at your office. That crab salad sounds great!

Some sandwiches go better with toasted bread than others. I do love the crab salad! I can only get smoked tofu at some grocery stores I don't often visit, but it's always a treat.
DeleteI always freeze bread rolls if I am not using them in the next day or two. Sometimes they don't even last that long before going stale! Bread is a finicky master.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? It goes from great to lousy awfully fast!
