Prep Time 3 hours 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 4 hours
Servings: 30 Rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 6 cups hard white wheat flour
  • 14 grams real mineral salt
  • 2 1/4 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp raw honey

Method
 

  1. Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Stir until nice and bubbly.
  2. Mix the flour and salt in your bowl. Make a well in the center.
  3. Add the honey and olive oil to the lukewarm water. Stir together. Tip: If you add the olive oil first, the honey will not stick to the measuring spoon.
  4. Pour the yeast into the well of the flour and then add the honey/oil mixture. Using your Danish whisk, stir together until everything is combined.
  5. Now, it's time to knead the dough. If doing it by hand, it's about 600 strokes. In a standup mixer, it will take about 10 minutes. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 1-2 hours. It should double in
size.
  6. With a wet finger, poke a hole into the dough. If the hole doesn't fill in, you are ready for the next step.
  7. Gently punch down the dough and pull it from the sides, forming a ball. Cover with the same towel and let rise again, usually 30 minutes.
  8. Grab an 8×4 loaf pan and butter it up. Sprinkle flour on a clean surface and place your dough on it.
  9. Gently press the dough onto the counter in the shape of a rectangle. Using a bench scraper, divide the dough into 15 square sections. Now, start rolling them into a ball. Place them on a parchment lined sheet and cover with the same towel. Let rise until the rolls have puffed up.
  10. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Notes

  1. If you are using another flour, you may need to add more/less water as different flours require different amounts of hydration. 
  2. You can substitute the honey for any sweetener of your choice. 
  3. These fresh milled flour dinner rolls freeze very well. Can stay fresh for 1-2 months in the freezer.
