Ingredients:

• 500g (3 1/2 cups) strong white bread flour
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 250ml (1 cup) warm water

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. Add the warm water and stir until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces.
6. Shape the pieces into rolls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
9. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
