Ingredients

For the Kimmelweck Rolls

2 tubes Pillsbury French Bread or similar bread dough
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
½ teaspoon flaky kosher salt

For the Beef

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup low sodium beef stock
⅛ cup red wine
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
cracked black pepper
1 pound sliced roast beef
3 teaspoons prepared horseradish

Instructions

To make the rolls

Divide the dough into 24 portions. Roll each dough portion into a ball.
In a small dish, combine the caraway and salt. Lightly press the top of each dough ball into the salt mixture.
Arrange the rolls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until crusty and beginning to brown.
Let the rolls cool, then slice in half using a serrated bread knife.

To make the sandwiches

While the rolls bake, melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the beef stock, wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, until warmed through.
Spread the bottom of each roll with a thin layer of horseradish.
Dip the roast beef into the au jus, then place one piece of beef on each roll.
Dunk the cut edge of the top rolls into the au jus, then place on top of the sandwiches.
Serve warm.
