$6.50 at new world vs $2 made at home.

3.5 – 4 cups flour (start with 3.5, add more if needed)
1.5 cups warm water
7g (2 1/4tsp) active dry yeast
1/2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp melted butter

More butter for glazing

Mix the water, sugar, and yeast together, cover, and let stand for 10 mins until foamy.

Once foamy add in the flour, salt and melted butter. Mix until it forms a shaggy dough, then knead for 8-10 mins (do it in a stand mixer with a dough hook if you prefer)

Put in to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 60-90 mins or doubled in size. Punch down and then give another quick knead. Separate into balls (mine are 85g each) and put on to a baking tray. Cover and rise again for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 180.

Bake for 20 – 25 minutes – until there’s a hollow sound when you tap the top. Glaze with butter as soon as they come out of the oven (I do this with a pastry brush)
