Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons lukewarm water (105F / 40C)
  • 1 pinch granulated sugar

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, let rise in a warm draft free area for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
  • Punch the dough down and divide into 5 equal portions, form into a smooth ball, place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, cover with a clean tea towel and let rise 45-60 minutes.
  • Pre-heat oven to 425F (215C). Place an empty oven safe tin in the oven.
  • Make a cross with a sharp knife on every roll, pour one cup of hot water in the pan and quickly place the rolls in the oven. Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Immediately place on a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
