Step 1

In a large bowl combine dry ingredients. Stir in water. Mixture will be thick and sticky.

Step 2

Cover with plastic wrap & let stand on counter top for 3 hours.

Step 3

After 3 hours (mixture will be puffy and bubbly on top) place dough on a well-floured surface. Using a scraper fold over about 12 times, adding enough flour so it doesn’t stick (about 2 Tbsp).

Step 4

Using a scraper cut dough into 8 pieces. With floured hands, shape each into a ball by folding and tucking, like making a drawstring bag.

Step 5

Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet (not wax paper) & cover with a dish towel. Let stand at room temperature for 35 minutes. They will puff up but will not double in size.

Step 6

As soon as rolls are covered, start preheating oven to 450° F. Oven must be 450° so use an oven thermometer if possible.

Step 7

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. To re-crisp the next day, preheat the oven to 325° F and place the rolls directly on the oven rack for 10-12 minutes.
