Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of instant yeast. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of warm water to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until a shaggy dough forms. Ensure there are no dry pockets of flour.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rest at room temperature for at least 12 hours, or overnight, until it has doubled in size and is bubbly on the surface.
- After the resting period, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a large Dutch oven (with the lid) in the oven to heat up for about 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has risen, lightly flour your work surface and your hands. Gently scrape the dough out of the bowl onto the floured surface. It will be sticky, so use a floured spatula if necessary.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. You can use a bench scraper or your hands to shape them into rough balls. Don’t worry about making them perfect; a rustic look is part of the charm!
- Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Using parchment paper, lift the dough balls and place them inside the pot. You can fit them all in at once, but make sure they have a little space to expand.
- Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and return it to the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the Dutch oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Use Warm Water: Make sure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly. Aim for a temperature around 110°F (43°C) for the best results.
- Let It Rise: Patience is key! Allowing the dough to rest for at least 12 hours develops the flavors and gives your rolls a beautiful texture. Overnight is perfect!
- Flour Your Surface: When working with the sticky dough, generously flour your work surface and hands to prevent sticking and make shaping easier.
- Rustic Shapes Are Okay: Don’t stress about making perfectly shaped rolls. The rustic look adds to their charm, and each roll will have its own unique character.
- Preheat Your Dutch Oven: Heating the Dutch oven before adding the rolls creates a steamy environment that helps achieve that perfect crust.
- Keep an Eye on the Color: Baking times may vary depending on your oven. Keep an eye on the rolls in the last few minutes to ensure they reach your desired golden brown.
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven. Serve them with butter, or use them to accompany soups and salads for a delightful meal.
