Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (around 110°F / 43°C)
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tbsp sugar (natural)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients and Develop the Dough: Combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Allow the yeast to activate for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add the flour, salt, olive oil, and natural gelling agent. Stir gently just until a sticky dough forms.
- First Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1.5 to 2 hours, until it doubles in size and looks airy.
- Shape the Rolls: Lightly flour a surface and scoop the dough onto it. Without kneading, shape the dough into equal-sized balls using lightly oiled hands. Place rolls in a greased baking dish with space between each for expansion.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls and proof for 30-45 minutes until fluffy. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped. Optionally, brush with plant-based butter (natural) for a glossy finish.
Notes
- Use warm water, not hot, to activate yeast without killing it.
- Minimal mixing preserves a tender dough for soft rolls.
- Allow proper rise times for optimal fluffiness.
- Use fresh yeast for effective fermentation.
- Brushing with plant-based butter (natural) after baking enhances softness and flavor.
