Serve Homemade Bread!

I've been reading an elderly friend's autobiography. One story from her childhood involved eating at her aunt and uncle's house after church. She acknowledged that all the food was probably good, but she only remembers her uncle's fresh homemade rolls. I was reminded of the lasting memories that homemade bread can bring.

What if you want to upgrade a boring meal at home and make it more interesting or memorable? Here's one way I do it!

Make the dough for Bread Machine French Bread and divide it into 4 or 5 portions to make smaller French rolls. Par-bake and freeze them (for up to 6 weeks). At a moment's notice, I can pull them out of the freezer and brown them in my air fryer or conventional oven for a quick and fabulous accompaniment to my next meal. The smaller size makes them easier to freeze and bake. See the pictures below for more details.

Note: This recipe also makes good submarine buns.

Here's how to do it:

After mixing the dough in a bread machine on the DOUGH cycle, divide it into 4, 5, or 6 portions, depending on how you want to use it. Form each portion into a mini French roll or submarine bun. Score with a lame, razor blade, or sharp serrated knife. Allow to rise until light and almost double.

Bake the bread at 400˚F (200˚C) until it is very lightly browned but completely cooked in the middle. (190-200˚F) If it gets brown too quickly, turn the temperature down to 375˚F (190˚C).

Remove the rolls from the baking tray and place them on a cooling rack.

When completely cool, double-wrap the bread and freeze.

I baked this small roll for about four minutes at 375˚F (190˚C) in my air fryer. Air fryers vary, so you may have to experiment with the temperature and time.

We live 6 miles out in a forest, so running into town is sometimes given a second thought. My husband said it was the best French bread ever. He ate more slices of that than the main dinner entrée.--JOYCE

Have you played around with this French bread recipe to make it your own? I would love to hear about it. Hit "Reply" to share.
