Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups All-purpose Flour sifted
  • 1 package Active Dry Yeast about 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • 1 cup Warm Water around 110°F (43°C)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter melted

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Kitchen Towel
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Combine the warm water and yeast in a small bowl, stirring gently until the yeast dissolves. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy and activated, indicating readiness.
    1 cup Warm Water, 1 package Active Dry Yeast
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the sifted flour, salt, and melted butter. Pour in the activated yeast mixture.
    3 cups All-purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Salt, 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, 1 cup Warm Water
  3. Stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then knead with your hands for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
    3 cups All-purpose Flour
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
    3 cups All-purpose Flour
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round roll and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let rest for 10 minutes before baking.
    3 cups All-purpose Flour
  6. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown and crusty on top. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.
