Equipment

Mixing Bowl
wooden spoon or dough whisk
Baking Stone or baking sheet
Stand Mixer optional

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups Warm Water about 110-115°F
1 1/2 Tablespoons Honey I use organic evaporated cane juice sugar.
5 teaspoons Yeast
1 Tablespoon Olive OIl melted butter or coconut oil
3 cups Flour I use half spelt and half organic hard white wheat freshly ground at home. All-purpose also works well.
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Dried Herbs optional

Instructions

Stir water, yeast, and sugar together. Leave for a few minutes until it becomes bubbly and frothy on top.
Add oil, flour, salt and baking powder and mix well.
If using a stand mixer, knead the dough for 5 minutes with a dough hook. Otherwise, pour the dough out onto a floured surface and hand-knead for 5 minutes.
Form half of the dough into a loaf. Sprinkle the optional herb mixture of your choice onto the dough and knead until mixed.
Cut the dough into 8-12 equal pieces to form into rolls.
Place the shaped rolls onto a pizza stone.
Bake rolls at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
