Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- In a small bowl, activate the yeast by combining 1 packet of active dry yeast with 1 cup of warm water (about 110°F or 43°C) and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the bowl with the flour and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of softened butter to the mixture.
- Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should spring back when poked.
- Form the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 15-20 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface again.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round roll by tucking the edges underneath to create a smooth top.
- Place the shaped rolls onto a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each roll for expansion. Cover them again with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are rising for the second time.
- Once the rolls have puffed up, bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your freshly baked bread rolls!
Tips
- Warm Water is Key: Make sure your water is warm (about 110°F or 43°C) to properly activate the yeast. Too hot can kill the yeast, while too cold will prevent it from activating.
- Knead with Love: Kneading the dough for 5-7 minutes is crucial to develop gluten, which gives the rolls their airy texture. Don’t rush this step!
- Perfect Rising Conditions: For the best rise, place your dough in a warm, draft-free area. You can even turn on your oven for a minute, then turn it off and let the dough rise inside.
- Don’t Skip the Second Rise: Allowing the shaped rolls to rise again before baking is essential for achieving that fluffy texture. Be patient, and let them puff up!
- Watch the Oven: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on the rolls as they bake. They should be golden brown on top, but check a minute or two before the suggested baking time to avoid overbaking.
- Cool Before Serving: Let the rolls cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. This helps maintain their texture and prevents them from becoming soggy.Enjoy your baking adventure with these delightful bread rolls!
