The no-knead bread rolls are delicious, fragrant, soft and crispy at the same time. I wanted to prepare some bread to fill for dinner and made these perfect rolls to enrich with your favorite filling because they are low and have little crumb. In a short time and with few and simple ingredients, these bread rolls are very clever, the dough is prepared in 5 minutes using a simple fork, you won’t even have to dirty your hands (that’s why I wrote no-knead)! These rolls stay soft for several days, try them once, and you’ll make them again and again!

Ingredients
- 1.5 cups water
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups semolina flour
- 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp fresh yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- as needed semolina flour
Steps
The bread rolls are very simple and quick to prepare. First, put the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, sugar, crumbled fresh yeast, and lukewarm water in a bowl and mix quickly using a fork. After a few seconds, add the salt and continue mixing; the dough doesn’t have to be very smooth.
Add the oil and mix with a spatula. Once the dough separates from the bowl, cover it with a cloth and let it rise for a couple of hours in a warm place. I keep it in the oven turned off with the light on.
After the rising time, transfer the dough to a surface sprinkled with semolina. Put some semolina on top and form a rectangle slightly more than half an inch thick.
Cut the rectangle into 4 parts vertically and 3 horizontally, thus obtaining 12 pieces. Place the bread rolls on a baking sheet and let them rise for another hour.
Bake the bread rolls in a preheated oven at 445°F for 20/25 minutes. They should be golden.
Tips:
The bread rolls can be stored at room temperature in an airtight bag for 4/5 days. I do not recommend using all-purpose flour, as it’s not strong enough. You can increase or decrease the yeast depending on the rising time. If using dehydrated yeast, use 2 g.
