2 ½ hours start to finish.

I use bread flour but this can also be made with All purpose flour.

This is a good quick basic dough which can also be used to make a loaf, Hamburger Buns, hotdog Buns, sandwich rolls, or even cinnamon rolls depending on how you shape them. Baked closely in a 13x9 they make good sliders. Add an additional 1 tbs sugar for a sweeter roll. Experiment with flavor add ins such as garlic, herbs, cheese, or anything else that floats your boat. Experiment with size and time of the rolls to get them perfect for you. Enjoy

I add optional sourdough starter or Discard for additional flavor natural yeast and because I always have some around. When adding this steps add the additional flour as stated.
