Ingredients: 6 cup Wheat flour; 2.5 cup Warm water; 2 tsp Dry yeast; 2 tsp Sugar; 1 tsp Salt; 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Soft yeast rolls from Barbados — the foundation of local sandwiches. A simple recipe with a golden crust.

Ingredients

6 cup Wheat flour
2.5 cup Warm water
2 tsp Dry yeast
2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

Sift half of the flour and mix with salt and yeast in a large bowl. Gradually add warm water until a stiff dough forms. Sprinkle with sifted flour until you reach a consistency that is comfortable for kneading.
Lightly flour the work surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl and leave in a warm place for 40–50 minutes until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
Divide the dough into 12 portions, roll into balls the size of a fist, and place on a greased baking sheet. Leave in a warm place again for approximately 40 minutes until doubled.
Bake in the center of the oven for 25–30 minutes until golden brown — ready rolls will sound hollow when tapped.
