These homemade yeast rolls are easy to make, but do require a bit of patience due to proofing time. This recipe yields 16 homemade dinner rolls and will take approximately 2 hours.
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups warm water
- 3 tsp active dry yeast (or you make your own yeast)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 3½ cups flour
- more extra virgin olive oil for brushing
Instructions:
- Add warm water, yeast, and sugar to a bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes until cloudy.
- Add oil, 1 tsp. salt, and flour to the bowl, and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to pull away from the bowl.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and knead for approximately 5 minutes.
- Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with a fresh tea towel, and leave for 1 hour to rise, or until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into 16 smaller dough balls, and place on a greased or lined baking sheet. Allow them to rest for another 30 minutes, then brush with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining salt.
- Bake in the oven at 400F for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are nice and golden.
