Step 1

1) Add the bread flour, salt, and yeast to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. With the mixer running slowly add the water (use 1/2 cup warm water more); allow to mix/knead until a nice firm dough ball is formed. If it is too sticky add a tsp of flour at a time and if it is too dry add a tsp of warm water at a time.

Step 2

2) Remove the dough from the stand mixer and place a in large greased bowl, making sure to flip the dough so it is coated on both sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and then a clean cloth, set aside and allow to rise for 1 hr.

Step 3

3) Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Punch the dough down and roll out of the bowl onto a floured surface; knead slightly, allow to sit for 5 minutes and then cut into small roll size dough balls, (I used a pizza cutter to cut my dough). Place your rolls onto a baking sheet, (I put corn meal on the baking sheets first, to help them not stick). Place in oven and bake for 15-17 minutes or until the tops are slightly golden.

Step 4

4) Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly; then remove from the baking sheet and serve.
