  1. Combine the flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt.

  4. Punch the dough down

    Punch the dough down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth round ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. Cover and let the rolls rise
