Fresh Bread rolls for breakfast

Take one of these rolls, add eggs, bacon and sausage and you have yourself a mighty fine breakfast!

so, a few weeks ago we had no bread and we wanted bacon and eggs for breakfast. all the shops in Rome were snowed in and shut, so there is no hope of buying bread, at least we had yeast in the fridge.

baked and bready, one was already gone before they were even cool. note that the longer time you leave the dough to rise, the more airy your dough will be.

knock on them like a door and if they sound hollow they're ready.

the recipe is quoted from yourhomebasedmon's website here

but i adapted it a bit, added less sugar, brushed them with oil and sprinkled salt and mixed herbs on top

1 C plus 2 Tbsp warm water
1/4 C oil
2 Tbsp yeast
1/8 C sugar
1 tsp salt
1 egg
3 1/2 C flour
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
In a bowl combine the water, oil, yeast and sugar and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.  Using your dough hook, mix in the salt, egg and flour.  Knead with hook until will incorporated and dough is soft and smooth. (Just a few minutes)
Form dough into 12 balls and then place in a greased 9 x 13 pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes.  Bake for 10 minutes at 200'C or until golden brown.
