No Knead Crusty Dinner Rolls

Prep Time 12 hours
Cook Time 20 minutes
Course Side Dish
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups bread or all-purpose flour see note
  • 1 cup room-temperature water
  • 1/2 teaspoon active yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and yeast. Whisk in the salt. Add in the flour and, using a wooden spoon, stir until a stiff, shaggy dough forms. (If the dough looks too dry and won’t come together, add in a little bit of water a tablespoon at a time.)
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to rise for 12-24 hours. After the dough has risen, it should look bubbly and smell very yeasty.
  • When you’re ready to make the rolls, place an oven rack in the middle of the oven and a metal pan on the lowest rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner.
  • Turn dough out onto well-floured counter. Divide dough into eight equal portions. Using your fingers, pinch each portion until a ball is formed. Set the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet and loosely cover with oiled plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 45 minutes.
  • When ready to bake, toss about a half a cup of ice cubes onto the metal sheet pan on the bottom of the oven. Place rolls onto middle rack and quickly shut the door. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

** Bread flour will give a chewier texture, but all-purpose works just as well.
