Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1-1/2 hours., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 18 balls, about 2 ounces each. Flatten each ball to a 4-in. circle. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until slightly puffed, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 375°. Brush rolls with Dijon mustard; if desired, sprinkle with seeds. Bake until lightly browned, 15-18 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely., Freeze option: Freeze cooled rolls in freezer containers. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each roll on high until heated through, 10-15 seconds.

MUSTARD BATONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of pastry into a rectangle, about 12 by 16 inches. Turn so that a short side is facing you. Spread half of the mustard over the lower half of the rectangle, leaving a 1/8-inch margin around the edges. Fold the top half over the lower half. Using the tip of a sharp knife and a straight edge (such as a clean ruler), cut it into 1-inch-wide strips from top to bottom. Transfer to prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between batons, and refrigerate until ready to bake. Repeat with remaining pastry and mustard.
• Beat the egg with a splash of cold water, and brush mixture lightly onto batons. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, if using. Bake about 15 minutes, rotating pans after 8 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
