Improvised Rolls

All the recipes I find online are for larger batches of rolls. I wanted enough to make a sandwich for supper with leftovers for tomorrow's lunch, so I improvised and tried my hand at creating a simple recipe (below photos). Tune in tomorrow to find out what I used the rolls for!

Before/after/after cooking:


Ingredients:
  • 1 tsp dry active yeast
  • 3/4c warm water
  • pinch of brown sugar (about 1/2 tsp)
  • A couple of dashes (about 1/4tsp) table salt
  • 1c + 1/2c flour
  • herbs/cheese to garnish (optional)

Instructions:
  1. Stir these first three ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl and let sit about 10 minutes.
  2. Add salt to mixture and stir.
  3. Add 1 cup flour to the mixture and stir with a fork. Add more flour until it forms a ball, and sticky sides are coated with flour. Let rise about an hour in a room temp (or warm) spot.
  4. Punch dough down. Add more flour so you don't stick to it.
  5. Divide dough (I took 5 pieces), and knead each into a roll.
  6. Place rolls on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with damp tea towel for 20 minutes.
  7. Uncover, sprinkle rolls with a couple drops of water and sprinkle any toppings on. I used oregano and parmesan cheese.
  8. gently squish rolls flat (ish).
  9. Bake at 350F until bottoms are browned and top is stiff when knocked on (about 12-16 minutes).
