Time 3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees F)
1 ½ teaspoons fine salt
19 ounces bread flour

Steps:

  • Place yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer; whisk to mix. Add flour and salt.
  • Knead with dough hook until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough ball and easily pulls away from the sides and the hook, about 5 minutes. (If still too sticky, add a bit more flour and knead a few more seconds.) Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a smooth ball. Place dough back in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the dough and sides of bowl a few drops of vegetable oil. Spread a film of oil over the surface of the dough.
  • Cover the bowl and transfer to a warm, draft-free place until dough is doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Form into a rectangle shape and cut into 6 equal pieces. Using your cupped hand and the work surface, roll each section of dough into a smooth round ball. Cover with a clean, dry cloth and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Flatten dough balls into 6- or 7-inch long ovals. Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a cylinder, applying extra pressure to the ends to form pointy tips for a classic French roll shape. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets (do not crowd them) and cover with clean dry towels until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the bottom rack.
  • With a very sharp knife, score each roll about 1/4 inch deep along one side somewhere between the side and the top. Spritz loaves lightly with water from a spray bottle.
  • Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes. Spritz loaves again and rotate pans for a more even bake. Bake until loaves are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; cool completely before cutting.

MAKE-AHEAD SANDWICHES

"I developed these 'fun buns' about 20 years ago when our four children were preteens," explains Marie Hass from Madison, Wisconsin. "Once they started high school, I kept some in the freezer for quick suppers when after-school activities kept them from eating with the rest of the family."

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: For this recipe, it's best to use a bread that is soft and easy to roll up. You can use white bread, wheat bread, or even sourdough bread. If you are using a bread that is not very soft, you may need to toast it lightly before rolling it up.
  • Make sure your fillings are cold: This will help to prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy. If you are using any cooked meat or poultry, make sure it is completely cooled before adding it to the sandwiches.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwiches: This will help to prevent the sandwiches from tearing. You can also use a serrated knife if you prefer.
  • Wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap: This will help to keep the sandwiches fresh and prevent them from drying out. You can also wrap the sandwiches in aluminum foil if you prefer.
  • Chill the sandwiches for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will help to allow the flavors to meld and will make the sandwiches easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Make-ahead sandwich rolls are a great way to save time and energy during the week. They can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer, so you can have a quick and easy lunch or dinner option whenever you need it.
