French Bread Rolls
source : sprinkle some sunshine

Ingredients :
1 ½ cups warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups bread flour (dita-I used all purpose flour)

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast & sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 5 minutes.
2. Add oil, salt & 2 cups flour to the yeast mixture & stir together with a fork. Stir in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl.
3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, adding additional flour if necessary. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl & turn to coat.
4. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
5. 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 sheet at least 2 inches apart. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth & let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Brush with melted butter & sprinkle with sea salt, rosemary, garlic, etc. while warm, if desired.(dita-I brushed the bowl with egg&milk)

Slice off the top of the bread bowl. Scoop out a bit of the bread & push the inside of the bread against the outside crust to form a bowl. Fill with something yummy & enjoy!
