Simple Sharing Ingredients

2 ½ cups Bread flour(320 g)
1 tsp. Salt(6 g - you can adjust to your liking)

Step-by-Step Sharing Rolls

1
Mix water and yeast: Mix water with fresh yeast (or dry yeast) until completely dissolved. This starts our fun bread-making journey!
2
Add flour and salt: Add bread flour and salt to the mixture. You can adjust the salt to your liking! Mix until there's no more dry flour - just mix, no need to knead!
3
First rest: Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. A timer will remind you of the next step.
Timer Available:First Rest (30:00)
4
Stretch and fold: With a wet hand, stretch the 4 sides of the dough and fold to the center. This gentle technique is part of what makes bread-making so therapeutic.
5
'Lift and slap' technique: Lift the dough and slap it back into the bowl. I call this technique 'lift and slap' - it's essential for strengthening the dough.
6
Second rest: Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Enjoy this peaceful time in your bread-making journey.
Timer Available:Second Rest (30:00)
7
Repeat the process: Repeat the steps from before - stretch and fold the 4 sides. Lift and slap once more. The dough is now much more elastic and ready for the next phase.
8
Main rise: Leave the dough to rise until it has doubled in size, usually about 2 hours. This is where the magic happens for our sharing rolls!

Prepare for shaping: Dust work surface with flour. Fold the dough so it's easier to divide. Bubbles are always a great sign!
10
Divide for sharing: Divide into 8 equal parts. Each piece will become one beautiful roll.
11
Shape the rolls: For each piece: gently flatten the dough, roll it tightly, then roll it the other way and make a ball. Seal the edges, then rub against work surface to seal.
12
Rest the rolls: Let the balls rest for 10 minutes uncovered. This helps them relax before final shaping.

Create steam: Sprinkle a little water around the bread (not directly on them). Cover with another tray of the same size for steam.
17
Steam baking: Bake at 430°F (220°C) for 20 minutes covered. The steam creates that amazingly crispy crust.
