Ingredients

  • 3 3/4 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry or instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
  • 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and butter/oil. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled.
  4. Punch down dough and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each into a 6–8 inch log.
  5. Place shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Cover and rise for 30–45 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush tops with egg wash.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  8. Cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use bread flour for extra chew and structure.
  • Add sesame, poppy seeds, or herbs for variety.
  • Swap in whole wheat flour for a heartier roll.
  • Store in a sealed bag for 3 days or freeze for later.
  • Brush with butter after baking for a softer crust.
