What measurements would I need to make one white bread roll (or maybe just a few - the smallest amount possible!)?

J had some wholemeal bread (which is what we eat), but it seems it's too filling for him, so I wanted to try him with white bread. Can't buy it (possible contamination with allergens). Don't want to make lots as we won't eat them if he doesn't.

I hope it's not wheat that he has a problem with anyway.

Aqui, buy some white spelt, it makes lovely rolls and is much gentler on the digestion. Spelt (wholemeal and white) is all I use for my bread now and you can buy it at most supermarkets.. I use the same recipe for all my bread, doesn't matter what flour is used.
My recipe is 1 tsp doves farm yeast, 4 cups flour, 1 tblsp oil, 1 tsp salt and about 1 1/2 cups of water. You could scale that down to maybe using 1 cup flour, that would make 3 or 4 rolls and they freeze well. Spelt flour doesn't need so much kneading and it rises quicker, if you're in a hurry you can get away with doing 1 proving. Smile

That's a good idea! We have spelt occassionally and love it. Can only get wholegrain, but I'll try him with that once his current problem is resolved.

There's lots of online shops now where you can get white spelt.. I'll send you some with the seed potatoes so he can try it first (PM your addy). Smile
