Ingredients
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2 cups room-temperature tap water
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, salt, yeast) and add the water. Mix until fully incorporated. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 10-12 hours.
- Shape the Rolls: Divide the dough into 12-16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Second Rise: Let the rolls rise at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bake the rolls for 20 minutes, rotating halfway through for even browning.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Herb Variations: Add garlic or herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for extra flavor.
- Flour Swap: If you don’t have bread flour, you can use all-purpose flour, though bread flour gives a better texture.
