French Bread Rolls to Die For

French Bread Rolls to Die For




1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups bread flour




1 In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

2 To the yeast mixture, add the oil, salt, and 2 cups flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

3 Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, and form into round balls. Place on lightly greased baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

4 Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Makes 16 rolls

Hi Betty,

I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you with an answer. I found the source of this recipe to be allrecipes.com. Here is the link:

To answer your question - Yes, 1 Tablespoon yeast is correct.

May I suggest that you click on the link above. When you read the reviews (and there are many, both pro and con) you may get a better idea of what to expect when you make these rolls.

Good luck,
