Directions
- 1Add about a teaspoon and a half of pink Himalayan salt to the flour.
- 2Give the flour and salt a quick mix.
- 3Add a little bit of sugar and yeast to the warm water.
- 4Pour the warm water, sugar, and yeast mixture into the flour and salt.
- 5Mix until all ingredients are combined.
- 6Cover the bowl and put it in a warm place for about an hour and a half for the dough to rise.
- 7Flour your surface.
- 8Get the dough out onto the floured surface.
- 9Shape the dough into a loaf.
- 10Cut the dough in half.
- 11Cut the halves into halves again.
- 12Throw a little more flour down and get them a little easier to handle.
- 13Cut those pieces again to get 12 pieces.
- 14Shape each piece of dough into a cylinder by folding it into itself, making sure the seam is shut.
- 15Place the shaped dough pieces onto a lightly floured pan with parchment paper.
- 16Let the shaped dough rest on the counter for about 10 minutes.
- 17Dimple the rolls by pressing a knife down the center.
- 18Lightly dust the tops of the rolls with flour.
- 19Let them rest covered for about 30 to 40 minutes for the final proof.
- 20Bake the rolls at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) on a rack just below the center for 12-15 minutes until golden and hollow.

Tips
- Use quick-rise instant yeast as it's very forgiving and easy to use.
- Sugar is good for this particular roll because it makes them slightly sweet.
- If you're not sure if the rolls are done, an instant-read thermometer should read about 205-206 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Another way to check for doneness is to tap the roll; if it sounds hollow, it's perfect.
