Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • Coarse cornmeal (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by mixing warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl and pour in the activated yeast mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl for about an hour until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the risen dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, and place on a lined baking sheet. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crusty. Use steam for a crispier texture.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore the crusty texture.
  • Serve warm with butter, alongside soups, or as sandwich rolls.
