Main ingredient: yeast

Servings:12quantities adjust to match

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (2 packets)
  • 6 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
  • 1 teaspoon salt (increase to 2 teaspoons for a more traditional salt bread)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus a little for the bowl

Method

  1. Stir the sugar into the warm water, sprinkle the yeast over the top, and let it stand for 8 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Put the flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture and the oil and mix to a shaggy dough.
  3. Knead on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
  4. Punch the dough down and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth oval roll, tapering the ends slightly, as is traditional for salt bread.
  5. Place the rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise again for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy.
  6. Heat the oven to 400°F. Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until deep golden and hollow-sounding when tapped underneath.
  7. Cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
