What a lovely color your rolls are! I'd have to eat the whole pan myself though because my husband just won't eat beets. I would willingly make the sacrifice. 🤣

Different kind of rolls to make for a party. Like how you've added beet puree to the dough. Next time I bake rolls or bread will try aquafaba for brushing on top.

Aquafaba gives the effect just like egg. Thanks Mayuri!
