2T active dry yeast dissolved in
2 1/2 cups warm (105-115*) water for 5-10 minutes
Add:
1T sugar
1T salt
2T olive oil Recipe
Mix well, add flour one cup at a time until stiff,
usually 6 but not more than 7 cups
Knead for two minutes on setting 2 on a Kitchen Aid stand mixer or around ten minutes by hand.
Let rise (covered) in a warm place for about an hour, punch down & form into loaves on cookie sheet, at least two inches apart.
Cover with a wet towel & allow to rise another hour.
Preheat oven to 450*.
Slash tops with a sharp knife & bake for 12-15 minutes until light brown.
For parmesan herb rolls, mix 3T Parmesan cheese with 1T garlic & 1T oregano.
Sprinkle over bread after slashing tops.
Very lightly press topping into the bread before baking.
For even better results, split baked rolls lengthwise, add cheese & broil until cheese is bubbly immediately before building your sandwich.
