French Bread Dinner Rolls

French Roll Bread have a delicious crusty outside and chewy soft inside just like French Bread. These are the most requested Homemade Yeast Rolls recipe in our house next to Potato Dinner Rolls and a top recipe on Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch for a reason. 

I love these for Thanksgiving and Christmas since they are best made the day before. The shaped rolls are refrigerated for a minimum of 4 hours but up to 2 days to allow the flavors to develop and contributes to the texture of the roll and crust. 

Oh dear French Roll Bread how I love thee.. Hot, crusty, chewy, rolls, need I say more? Do not be afraid my friends on the time it takes to make these, it is well worth it to develop the flavor, and texture of the rolls. 

Crusty French Bread Rolls are a Thanksgiving staple in our house, and the perfect rolls to fill with Sloppy Joe's for Sloppy Joe Sliders. Most of the time I make these the day before, and leave them in the fridge to be popped in the oven 30 minutes before we're ready to eat. These never make it past the first 30 minutes out of the oven, they are long gone, and very dearly missed. 

Oh well, I guess I better make some more. Here's how you can make French Bread Dinner Rolls too!

Mix  together in mixing bowl:

• 1 cup Warm Water under 110 degrees
• 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon Honey 

Allow to sit for 8 minutes.

Yeast will become foamy.

Add 2 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour and 1 teaspoon Salt.

Knead on medium speed for about 8 minutes until dough pulls away from the side of bowl and is smooth.

Grease a large bowl with butter and add dough. Cover bowl with a moist towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rise 45 minutes.

Fold dough over onto itself on all all four sides.

This is realigning the gluten in the dough and developing texture and flavor.

Re-cover and repeat this process in another 45 minutes.

Cover and allow dough to rise another 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.

Grease 2 (8"or 9") cake pans or 9x13 pan and set aside. (I find the cake pans easier to fit into the fridge.)

On a lightly floured work surface divide dough in half and divide each half into 5. For a total of 10 rolls. 

Shape each roll by tucking edges under until roll becomes smooth on top and round.

Place shaped rolls seam side down into greased pan and cover.

Place into the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 2 days. 

Preheat oven to 500 degrees and remove rolls from the refrigerator  and allow to rise while oven preheats until almost double in size. 

Right before placing rolls in the oven spray with water. I don't have a spray bottle for food (I keep meaning to buy one) so I have found either getting my fingertips wet and flicking the rolls with water works or getting a pastry brush wet and running my fingers over the end to flick droplets of water works well. 

Place in oven and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature down to 400 and bake another 10-15 more minutes until rolls are brown on the outside and sound hollow when top is tapped.

Remove from pan and cool 5 minutes.
