How to make it

  • Pour 2 1/2 cups flour into a large bowl and make a well.
  • Pour yeast, sugar and two tablespoons of warm water (taken from the one cup of warm water listed above) in the well. Mix yeast, sugar and water carefully within the well. Do not mix with the flour at this time. Cover bowl with a towel and let rest for fifteen minutes.
  • Add the salt, remaining water, and oil and beat until mixed. Turn out on counter and knead until smooth. Add the remaining flour as needed to keep douygh from being sticky. Put dough in a greased bowl and let rise until double in size. Punch down and make rolls as you like, oval shape, biscuit shape, etc and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise until double in size. Beat egg white and 1 teaspoon water until frothy and brush on the rolls. Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • IMPORTANT: place an oven proof bowl or pan filled with water in th ebottom of the oven to provide moisture as the rolls bake.

    I made these yesterday as I was out of bread. I love baking them, because they always work. I love to make diferent shapes with the left over dough that I have after I have cut the main ones.
    LOL, always a clown!

    Actually, this is one of the easiest breads one will ever make. It never fails, and if you slap the dough down on the counter, you can even get rid of any frustrations. :-)
