TRADITIONAL FRENCH PISTOLETS - LITTLE ONION AND RYE BREAD ROLLS

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.

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.

LINDA'S ONIONS IN GARLIC CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice or dice the butter into small pieces, and melt it over low heat in a NON-aluminum saucepan.
• It's important to avoid aluminum, because it tends to turn light-colored sauces an unappetizing gray hue.
• When the butter has begun to foam and bubble, vigorously mix in the flour with a wooden spoon, or wire whisk.
• If you want your final sauce to be white, make absolutely sure not to let the roux turn brown.
• If it does begin to get tinged with beige, turn down the burner, or remove the pot from the heat altogether, to let the roux cool down for a few seconds.
• Let cook and bubble 2-3 minutes, until the roux is smooth, and has the consistency of cake frosting.
• This removes the floury taste.
• When making a roux-based sauce, always be sure that the roux and the liquid (milk or stock) are different temperatures before you combine them.
• If the roux is hot, the liquid should be cold; if the roux is cold, the liquid should be hot.
• Combining the 2 ingredients at different temperatures allows them to heat up at a moderate rate, not too fast, and not too slow, ensuring a velvety-smooth, lump-free sauce.
• If you're not yet a sauce expert, try the hot liquid/cold roux approach first.
• That way, you can gradually add roux until the sauce is the exact thickness you like.
• Gradually stir in milk, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
• Bring to boil, and then reduce heat.
• Let simmer 3-5 minutes, or until thickened.
