I love fresh baked bread. The aromas are intoxicating and it's my weakness. I need to make these more often, since they are really easy to make and they fit the bill for fresh homemade baked bread. Spread some butter on them right out of the oven and it's bliss.
Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour - 3.5 to 4 cups
Water - 1 cup
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Oil - 3 tbsp
Yeast - 2 tbsp
Salt - A big pinch
Egg - 1 (Optional)
Mix warm water, sugar, salt and yeast and let it froth for 10 min. Once the yeast is activated, add the flour, oil and the beaten egg and mix well. I have made the rolls with instant yeast too and it works just as well.
Knead with oiled hands and let it raise for 15 min. Knead again and make golf size balls and place on a parchement lined baking sheet for 10 more min until they raise a bit.
Pre-heat oven to 375F and bake for 10 to 12 min, based on how dark you like them.
Remove and brush with olive oil or butter if you like. Enjoy they warm.
