No Knead Crusty Rolls

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
• 1/4 teaspoon instant or dry active yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups hot tap water (up to 54° C)

Instructions:

1. In large bowl combine dry ingredients. Stir in water. Mixture will be thick and sticky.
2. Cover with plastic wrap & let stand on counter top for 3 hours.
3. After 3 hours (mixture will be puffy and bubbly on top) place dough on a well-floured surface.
4. Using a scraper fold over about 12 times, adding enough flour so it doesn’t stick (about 2 Tbsp).
5. Using a scraper cut dough into 8 pieces.
6. With floured hands, shape each into a ball by folding and tucking, like making a drawstring bag.
7. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet & cover with a dish towel.
8. Let stand at room temperature for 35 minutes. They will puff up but will not double in size.
9. As soon as rolls are covered, start preheating oven to 232° C.
10. Oven must be 450° so use an oven thermometer if possible.
11. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

• To re-crisp the next day, preheat the oven to 162° C and place the rolls directly on the oven rack for 10-12 minutes.
