Instructions:
Step 1:
Get a large bowl. Add 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of instant or dry active yeast, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix all the ingredients, then stir in the water. The mixture will have a thick and sticky mixture.
Step 2:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it stand on the countertop for about 3 hours.
Step 3:
After 3 hours, the mixture will be puffy and bubbly. Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Fold it over about 12 times using a scraper. Add about 2 tablespoons of flour so it doesn’t stick.
Step 4:
Cut the dough into 8 pieces with a scraper. Flour your hands and shape each into a ball by folding and tucking.
Step 5:
Place the balls into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (not wax paper). Cover it with a dish towel. Set it aside at room temperature for about 35 minutes. The balls will puff up but will not double in size.
Step 6:
Preheat the oven to 450F.
Step 7:
Place inside the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
If you want to re-crisp the next day, preheat the oven to 325F, then place the rolls directly on the oven rack for about 10 to 12 minutes.
