My first impression was that these are pretty ordinary dinner rolls, with only an elongated shape setting them apart. But as I got more bites into it, I started noticing the extra sweetness, and I liked it. In fact, I finished it, and went back to the bag for another. And then another.
I polished off the whole bag by myself--not with dinner, just as snacking--over the course of three days. I never even added butter or jam, nor did I heat them up, though I suppose that such steps would make them even better.
I think I still prefer some of the canned-dough rolls. (TJ's own crescent rolls are a favorite.) But that's largely because of the sensory advantage of the straight-from-the-oven heat. For pre-made rolls in a bag, these are the best I've ever had.
Will I buy it again?
Yes--even though it seems weird to me to have bread made in France and flown across the ocean.
It is crazy the bread comes from france but it's actually shipped frozen (like the sliced brioche loaf which is actually even better-!). I tried these twice, the first bag was undoubtedly more fresh and perfect for the little sandwiches i made with them for a gathering. Second bag wasn't quite as fresh but after 20seconds in the microwave with a little pb and j they were fantastic as a quick sturdy snack. My (potentially insane) friend is going to brave TJs this weekend and pick them up as our thanksgiving dinner rolls
