Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure and a tender crumb for the rolls.
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast Gives reliable rise and quick fermentation without proofing.
- 1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor and helps control yeast activity.
- 1 cup warm water Hydrates the flour to create an open, airy texture.
Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Generously flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it; divide into 6 portions and shape into rolls.
- Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between them.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
- Let cool on a rack for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep the dough sticky for the best airy crumb and use a hot oven with steam to produce a crisper crust. You can make the dough ahead of time for deeper flavor, allowing it to rise in the refrigerator.
