Evening Gold Crunch Rolls

Quick, crackling crispy rolls for a relaxed dinner for two – minimal effort, maximum crunch.

Instructions

1. Dissolve the fresh yeast with the sugar in the lukewarm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture appears slightly active.
2. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the yeast water and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
3. Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for 45 minutes, until it has noticeably expanded.
4. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, divide it into 4 equal pieces, and shape them into round or slightly elongated rolls.
5. Place the shaped rolls on a baking paper, cover them, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 230 °C (450 °F) with top and bottom heat. For a crustier result, place an oven-safe dish inside to heat up.
7. Spray or lightly brush the rolls with some water and optionally make a single cut on top.
8. Place the rolls in the oven and pour some hot water into the preheated dish to create steam. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and crackling crispy.
9. Let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes and serve while still slightly warm.
