Bread Rolls

Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Stir in salt, olive oil, and 3 cups of flour; mix until a shaggy dough forms.

3. 3

   Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead, adding remaining flour as needed, until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.

5. 5

   Punch down dough; divide into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

6. 6

   Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment; cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake rolls until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, 15-18 minutes.

8. 8

   Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
