Easy French Bread Rolls

I know making your own bread takes that extra time… but anything I can do to keep the extra preservatives out and the home baked taste in!

I made these last night to serve our French Dips on!  They are also great to make sandwiches on!  Sure beats paying $4 for them at the store… and we all know those don’t taste as good as these!

Easy French Bread Rolls

  • Servings: 6-8 rolls
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbls sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water 110-120
  • 1 tbls (yes tablespoon) yeast
  • 2 tbls oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cups flour

Steps:

  1. Add your sugar and water… Quick stir to dissolve the sugar… Sprinkle the yeast over top and let sit 5-15 minutes or until foamy
  2.  Add salt and oil and mix.
  3. Add half the flour and mix with your whisk… change out to your dough hook
  4. Add the remaining flour and with your dough hook turn it on and let it do its job.
  5. Pull it out on a lightly floured surface… and hand kneed it for a minute
  6. Place it in a greased bowl… flip so you’ve greased both sides, and cover with saran wrap.
  7. Let it rise for about an hour!
  8. Gently pull back your saran wrap and punch it down.
  9. Plop it onto a lightly floured surface
  10. Cut them down to your desired amount of rolls… then take each one and flatten them out to a rectangle and “jelly” roll
  11. Tuck up the sides and pinch the seams together
  12. Place them on a greased baking pan and cover with saran wrap… if you still have the piece from your bowl, re-use it! Let them rise for about 30-45mins
  13. Pre-Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  14. Place them in a pre-heated 400 degree oven
    Bake for 18-20 minutes… if you made smaller ones start checking on them around 15 minutes.
  15. Pull them out… and you can bless them with a swipe of butter on top.
  16. Let cool… I love serving mine on French Dips.
