Easy No-Knead Rolls

Ingredients

💧 2 cups warm tap water
🥄 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
🧂 1 teaspoon sugar
🍞 4 cups all-purpose or bread flour
🧂 1¼ teaspoons salt
🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1- Activate the Yeast:

• Combine 2 cups warm tap water, 1 tablespoon active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl.
• Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.

2- Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose or bread flour with 1¼ teaspoons of salt.

3- Create the Dough:

• Pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour and salt.
• Mix with a Danish dough whisk (OXO brand recommended) until you have a sticky dough.

4- Incorporate Olive Oil:

• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil around the edges of the dough.
• Mix gently without kneading.

5- First Rise:

• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel.
• Let the dough rise for 1½ hours until doubled in size.

6- Shape the Rolls:

• With gloves on to handle the sticky dough, divide it into 5-6 balls.
• Shape them and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

7- Second Rise:

• Cover the rolls loosely with a clean kitchen towel.
• Let them rise for another 30-40 minutes until puffed.

8- Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

9- Score the Rolls:

• Using Fiskars kitchen scissors or a sharp serrated knife, score the tops of each roll in a cross pattern about ½ inch deep.

10- Bake with Steam:
- Place a baking tray filled with hot water on the bottom rack of the oven to create steam.
- Position the baking sheet with rolls on the middle rack and bake for 30-35 minutes until they are golden brown.

11- Cool Down:
- Rest rolls on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool entirely.
