It was after 10 o’clock last night when I decided to cancel this week’s business trip.  When I’m not on the road I work from home, so I was cozy in my slippers when I realized that lunch was going to pose a challenge.

The Gastro Gods looked down upon me as I rediscovered 3 lonely strips of leftover marinated beef and veggies in my fridge.  And then– a flash of brilliance– I can repurpose my beef and veggies into beef sliders!  (I won’t lie, this flash of brilliance was probably really a flashback to David’s sliders Saturday night at Smith & Wollensky).

All I need is… bread!  That I can make without yeast; since I have neither bread nor yeast. Who knew it would be so easy!

Yeast-Free Rolls for One

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/3 cup water

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Sieve together all dry ingredients
3. Add water and mix
4. Spoon into two greased muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes

These are not the dinner rolls you’re used to.  No joke– these rolls taste like pretzels.  Pretzel-tasting rolls from inside my oven!  Filled with the reheated beef and veggies, these little sliders are not only repurposed, but remarkable!
