Before you cook
- The independent EFC recipe uses a preheated 350°F four-minute method for small rolls. This guide follows the manufacturer's longer cold-start method rather than averaging them.
- Do not substitute jumbo, frozen or homemade dough. Keep any liner weighed down with food and follow the appliance manual.
