Dough
- 3½ cups bread flour
- 1¼ cups water room temperature
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2½ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Extra
- Semolina or cornmeal for dusting pan
- 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing tops
Load. Place ingredients in the bread machine pan in the manufacturer’s recommended order (typically wet ingredients first, then dry, with yeast last). Select the "Dough" cycle.
Check. After 5-10 minutes of kneading, check the dough consistency. It should form a soft ball that clears the sides but sticks slightly to the bottom. Add flour or water by the tablespoon if needed.
Divide. When the dough cycle completes, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 equal pieces (about 4 ounces each).
Rest. Shape pieces into loose logs, cover with greased plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes.
Shape. Form each piece into an 8-inch oval roll by gently stretching. Pull edges under and pinch seams on the bottom.
Rise. Place rolls on a baking sheet dusted with semolina. Cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes until quite puffy.
Prepare. Preheat oven to 425°F. Gently brush the rolls with two tablespoons of melted butter. Make 3 very light diagonal slashes across the top if desired.
Bake. Bake 15-19 minutes until light golden brown.
Finish. Remove from oven. Cover rolls with a light kitchen towel and cool on a wire rack.
- Covering the rolls while cooling traps just enough moisture to keep the crust tender while still allowing excess steam to escape.
- Store completely cooled rolls in plastic bags at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
