TRADITIONAL FRENCH PISTOLETS - LITTLE ONION AND RYE BREAD ROLLS
These lovely little dinner or breakfast rolls are found everywhere in Belgium, and in most parts of France too. The last time I had them was a cosy Bed and Breakfast in Bruges, where they were served warm with fresh butter and boiled eggs for breakfast. They can vary in what type of flour is used, but they must always have the distinctive split, due to them being cut with the handle of a wooden spoon before baking. They are crusty and yet light inside, and make great sandwiches for picnics or a light lunch. This recipe is the result of numerous trial and error baking sessions, and the pistolets bread rolls are nutty and full of onion flavour. I start these off in the bread machine for ease when I am pushed for time, but they are just as easily made the more traditional way, mixing and proving by hand. NB: As one reviewer found out, baking can be a challenge, and in most cases an exact science. Do try to stick to the recipe as written - you won't be disappointed! Thanks!

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.
FRENCH ONION PAN ROLLS
A crusty topping of Parmesan cheese and onion soup mix adds lots of flavor to these golden brown rolls from Anne Prince of Elkhorn, Wisconsin. "They're great with a bowl of soup or a salad," she says. "I sometimes use frozen rolls to make preparation even easier."

Tips:
- Use a digital kitchen scale to measure your ingredients accurately. This will ensure that your rolls turn out perfectly.
- Make sure your yeast is active before using it. To do this, dissolve it in a small amount of warm water with a pinch of sugar. If the yeast starts to foam and bubble, it is active and ready to use.
- Let your dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
- When shaping your rolls, be sure to tuck the edges under to create a smooth surface. This will help them rise evenly in the oven.
- Bake your rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 20 minutes.
Conclusion:
Pistolets are a delicious and versatile type of bread roll that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or simply served with butter and jam. If you are looking for a new bread recipe to try, I highly recommend giving these traditional French pistolets a try.
