TRADITIONAL FRENCH PISTOLETS - LITTLE ONION AND RYE BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• To start the dough in the bread machine, add the ingredients in the order posted - except the topping and extra flour for dusting. Put on "dough" setting to mix, prove and rise.
• Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas mark 7.
• Once the dough has risen, turn out of the tin on to a floured board and knock back, then knead for a minute or two. Cut into 12 pieces and shape into ovals. Place on well greased and floured baking sheets and cover with oiled cling-film; leave them in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
• Brush the rolls with water and then sprinkle with onion salt or normal salt, before dusting with flour. Using an oiled handle of a wooden spoon, split each roll almost in half lengthways, see photo. Allow to rest for 3 to 5 minutes before baking in pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. The pistolets should sound hollow when tapped and have a crusty finish. Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack then serve warm with butter and fillings to taste. These freeze very well.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Butter a large bowl; set aside. Put yeast, warm water, sugar, egg, and 3 tablespoons butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed 1 minute.
• Reduce mixer speed to low. Mix in salt, flours, and caraway seeds. Raise speed to medium-high, and beat until dough comes together, about 10 minutes. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth, 15 to 20 minutes, then transfer to buttered bowl. Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Using a butter knife, cut dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll into balls, and space 1 1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Cover dough with buttered plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, cut an X in the top of each roll. Bake rolls until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer rolls to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, and brush with remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle tops with sea salt. Serve.

CHEDDAR AND ONION RYE ROLLS

Steps:

• Place the yeast and water in the bowl of a mixer and stir to completely dissolve. Let the yeast proof until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the bread and rye flours, sugar, molasses, oil, and salt. Mix the ingredients together on low speed using the dough hook just until the dough begins to come together (it will look a little rough), about 4 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough is smooth, 2 more minutes. Add the cheese and onion and continue to mix on medium speed until the cheese and onions are evenly distributed throughout the dough, about 1 minute.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by hand until the cheese and onions are completely worked into the dough. (The dough will feel rather tight.) Gather it into a smooth ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Fold the dough gently over on itself in three or four places, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, and cut it into 20 equal pieces. Cover the pieces and let them rest until nice and relaxed, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or grease lightly.
• Round each piece of dough into a smooth ball and place in even rows on the prepared baking sheets. Cover and let rise until the dough springs back when lightly touched but does not collapse, 30 minutes.
• Make a small slit down the center of each roll with a very sharp paring knife or a razor blade. Dust the tops of the rolls lightly with rye flour, if desired.
• Bake until the rolls have a golden brown crust and sound hollow when thumped on the bottom, 15-18 minutes. Cool completely on racks before serving. Enjoy!

• Pour hot mixture into mixer bowl with yeast & flour, add both eggs & begin mixing on low to medium speed til mixture is all wet.
• Begin slowly adding spoonfuls of flour & mixing until dough forms into ball around the dough hook & bottom of mixer bowl is no longer sticky with wet dough. Ball of dough will be slightly smooth & spring back when touched with fingertip.
• Remove dough from hook & bowl & form into ball with hands. Spray inside of bowl with non-stick cooking spray & then drop dough ball into bowl with the smooth side down. Then turn ball over so the seam side is now down. (This greases top & bottom of ball).
• Cover mixer bowl with it's lid,a towel or foil & place in warm area to rise for about an hour. Dough will be about double the starting size in an hour.
• When risen, use fist to "punch" dough down in center. Then remove from bowl & divide into two balls. Place both on lightly floured surface & cover loosely with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
• Roll out one ball at a time into large circle about 1/2 inch or less in thickness.
