condensed French Onion Soup21 ounces

Beef Consomme10.5 ounces

Step 2

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours (30 minutes in the InstaPot), or until the beef easily shreds apart with a fork.

Step 3

Remove 3 cups of the liquid from the slow cooker with a measuring cup or ladle and add to a small sauce pan. Turn heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce to a hard simmer and let cook until reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the beef to a shallow dish and shred with a fork.

Step 5

Place the sandwich rolls on a baking sheet and spoon meat into each roll. Top with provolone cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Step 7

sugar2 Tbs

Milk1 C

Butter3 Tbs

Step 8

Using the a dough hook, turn mixer on to low speed (speed 2 on the KitchenAid) and add all but 1 cup of the flour.

flour2 ¾ c

Step 9

Add salt (this should always be added near the end because salt tells the yeast to stop. Adding it near the end gives the yeast and sugar (which is food for the yeast) a chance to mix well into the flour first.

salt½ tsp

Step 10

Slowly add in the last cup of flour. You may not need to, or you may need more, just pay attention to the dough. Stop adding flour when the dough clears the sides of the bowl and most of the bottom. Again, add the last bit of flour SLOWLY.

Step 11

Mix on low speed for 10 minutes.

Step 12

Turn off the machine and spray the sides of the bowl and the dough with oil. Cover and allow to rise until doubled in size. (For a denser bun, let it rise until 1.5 times the size.)

Step 13

Punch down and divide the dough into equal portions (however many you have the servings set for)

Step 14

Preheat oven to 350

Step 15

Allow dough to rise until each portion is ALMOST the size you want them when they are finished baking.

Step 16

Wash the dough portions with an egg wash (the other half of your eggs plus 1 Tbs Water per egg)

Step 17
