Ingredients
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 300ml lukewarm water
- 10g salt
- 1/2 cube fresh yeast (approx. 20g) or 1 packet of dry yeast
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
- Dissolve the yeast in 300ml of lukewarm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy (if using dry yeast).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Gradually pour the yeast mixture into the bowl, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a smooth dough forms.
2. Let the Dough Rise
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap.
- Place the bowl in a warm spot and let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
3. Shape the Rolls
- Lightly flour your hands and work surface.
- Divide the dough into equal portions (about 8–10 pieces).
- Shape each portion into a round roll by tucking the edges underneath.
4. Bake the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
- Arrange the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with water to help them crisp up.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
5. Serve
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh from the oven with butter, jam, or your favorite spreads.
Tips for Perfect Rolls
- Crispier Crust: Place a small oven-safe dish of water on the lower rack of the oven while baking to create steam.
- Shape Consistently: Use a kitchen scale for equal-sized rolls to ensure even baking.
- Flavor Boost: Add herbs, seeds, or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the dough for variety.
