Crusty On The Outside Soft And Fluffy On The Inside Easy No-Knead Rolls

1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the dough: In a large bowl add flour and salt, then pour in the yeast mixture. Stir until sticky. Drizzle olive oil around the edges and mix gently. Do not knead.
3. First rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel. Let rest 1½ hours, or until doubled.
4. Shape rolls: Divide and shape dough into 5–6 balls depending on the size you want. Place on a parchment-lined sheet, spaced apart. (Note the dough will be slightly sticky, I recommend wearing gloves).
5. Second rise: Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let rise 30–40 minutes until slightly puffed or doubled.
6. Preheat oven: 450°F.
7. Score rolls: Using scissors or sharp knife cut 4 lines from the center of each roll about ½” deep.
8. Bake with steam: Place a tray of hot water on the bottom rack. Bake rolls on the rack above for 30-35 minutes until golden.
9. Cool: Let rolls rest 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
