Drizzle the remaining dressing on the top halves of the rolls and place on top to make sandwiches. Wrap in wax paper. Slice in half and serve.
PERFECT SANDWICH BREAD
I have been making lots of bread lately, and this is wonderful, soft, fluffy sandwich bread. The dough had the best texture of any I made so far. No bread machine required! Even though there is no machine, it's very easy for a first time bread maker to make. Prep time does not include rising. **I am sorry you didn't have success.. I have passed this on to lots of friends and they all had lots of success! I got the recipe from a video that is VERY helpful, I add an extra tbs honey. here is the link http://www.expertvillage.com/video/19818_bread-ingredients-measure.htm

Steps:
- add yeast and a pinch of sugar (to feed the yeast) to warm water, let it sit 5-10 minutes until very foamy. water should be warm, but not hot, about 110 degrees.
- put proofed yeast into a large mixing bowl. add milk, honey, oil, and salt.
- add flour, start with 3 cups. mix with a sturdy spoon until smooth.
- add in more flour, one cup at a time until it gets to hard to stir.
- turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes adding more flour as needed. dough should be smooth, elastic and not too dry, but not sticking to your hands either.
- put dough in a greased bowl and turn it over to lightly grease it. cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel (you can use a damp paper towel and towel if you don't have plastic).
- sit it in a warm place (like on top of the fridge) for 1-1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
- cut the dough in half as equal as you can. punch dough down, getting all the air out. form into a rectangle and roll up tight, tucking in the ends. it should look like a small loaf.
- place each loaf in a greased (I use shortening) loaf pan. cover again and let rise 45 minutes until about doubled in size.
- if you choose, brush with the egg for a nice glossy look (i prefer it).
- bake at 350 for 35 minutes on the middle rack (leave room, they will rise more in the oven!).
- the bread is done when it's golden and sounds hollow when you tap on it.
- remove immediately from the pans and cool on a cooling rack so the bottoms don't get soggy (check to make sure it's done by also tapping on the bottom-it should sound hollow also).
- cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: The type of bread you use can make or break your sandwich. A good sandwich bread should be sturdy enough to hold all of the ingredients without getting soggy, but it should also be soft and fluffy enough to be enjoyable to eat.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your sandwich will taste. This means using ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful cheese.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to sandwich combinations. Try different types of bread, fillings, and condiments until you find a combination that you love.
- Make it a balanced meal: A good sandwich should include a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. This will help you feel satisfied and energized after eating.
- Don't overstuff your sandwich: A sandwich that is too full is difficult to eat and will fall apart easily. Aim for a sandwich that is about 1 inch thick.
- Toast your bread: Toasting your bread will help it to hold up better and give it a nice crispy texture.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you to cut your sandwich evenly and cleanly.
- Serve your sandwich immediately: A sandwich is best enjoyed fresh out of the kitchen.
Conclusion:
The perfect sandwich is a personal preference, but there are some general tips that can help you create a delicious and satisfying meal. By choosing the right ingredients, experimenting with different combinations, and following these tips, you can make a sandwich that is sure to please everyone.
