Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)

Additional:

  • Egg wash (optional, for shine)
  • Additional water (for steam in oven)
  • Herbs or seeds (optional, for variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: Mix warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar in a bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture.
  3. Knead Dough: Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Rise: Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise for 1.5 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough, divide into portions, shape into balls, and place on a baking sheet.
  6. Second Rise: Let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  7. Preheat Oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C) with a pan of water for steam.
  8. Score and Bake: Score the rolls, brush with egg wash or water, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.
  10. Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container or freeze for later use.

Notes

  • You can customize the rolls by adding herbs or seeds to the dough.
  • For a shinier crust, use an egg wash; for a crunchier crust, spray with water before baking.
  • These rolls are versatile and can be served with various meals or as a snack.
