    Crusty Bread Rolls

    Ingredients

      Quick Starter

      • 100 ml water
      • 2 g fresh yeast(or 1 g dry yeast)
      • 100 g bread flour

      Main Dough

      • 120 ml water
      • 220 g bread flour
      • 6 g salt

      Instructions

      1. 1
        Mix 100 ml water with 2 g fresh yeast (or 1 g dry yeast) until dissolved.
      2. 2
        Add 100 g bread flour and mix until fully incorporated. You'll get a very liquid dough starter.
      3. 3
        Cover and let rise for 1 hour. It's full of life!
        Timer Available:Starter Rise (1:00:00)
      4. 4
        Add 120 ml water to the starter and mix quickly.
      5. 5
        Add 220 g bread flour and 6 g salt. Mix until no dry flour remains—just mix, no kneading.
      6. 6
        Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
        Timer Available:First Rest (30:00)
      7. 7
        With a wet hand, stretch all 4 sides to the center, then lift and slap the dough back. This technique is super effective!
      8. 8
        Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
        Timer Available:Second Rest (30:00)
      9. 9
        Repeat stretch-and-fold. The dough is now much more elastic and smooth.
      10. 10
        Let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
        Timer Available:Bulk Rise (2:00:00)
      11. 11
        Turn out the dough, fold to make it easier to cut, and divide into 6 equal parts.
      12. 12
        Pre-shape each piece: flatten gently, roll tightly, fold into a ball, and rub against the work surface to seal.
      13. 13
        Let rest uncovered for 10 minutes.
        Timer Available:Bench Rest (10:00)
      14. 14
        Final shape: fold each piece to tighten surface tension, pinch to seal, and roll into a longer shape with your palm. Place on baking tray.
      15. 15
        Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
        Timer Available:Final Proof (30:00)
      16. 16
        Lightly sprinkle flour over the rolls, score with a sharp blade, sprinkle a few drops of water, cover with another tray, and bake at 220°C for 20 minutes.
        Timer Available:Covered Bake (20:00)
      17. 17
        Remove the top tray and bake 10 more minutes until as crispy as possible.
