Let stand 10-15 minutes until foamy. ### Dough 2 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook , combine 540 g bread flour , 10 g sugar , 12 g salt , and 9 g dough conditioner . 3 Add the yeast mixture and 240 g lukewarm water to the flour mixture. Mix on low speed for 5 minutes until the dough starts to come together. 4 Add 30 g olive oil and continue kneading for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. ### Hand Kneading 5 Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured work surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes , using as little extra flour as possible. ### First Rise 6 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. ### Shaping 7 Gently deflate the dough and divide into 6-8 equal portions (90-67g each). Shape each portion into rolls about 15-18cm long. 8 Place the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet , cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 45-60 minutes until nearly doubled in size. ### Oven Baking 9 Preheat your oven to 425 F. Place a small tray of boiling water in the back corner of the oven to create humidity. 10 Using a sharp knife or razor blade, cut a shallow slit down the center of each roll. 11 Bake for 10 minutes , then reduce the heat to 400 F and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the rolls are an even golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Note The dough conditioner helps maintain moisture inside the roll even during longer bakes. ### Bread Cloche Variation 12 Preheat your bread cloche in the oven at 475 F for at least 30 minutes . 13 Place 2-3 shaped rolls on parchment paper, loosely cover, and let rise for the final time ( 45 minutes ). 14 Carefully remove the hot cloche from the oven, remove the lid, and transfer the risen dough on the parchment paper into the cloche. 15 Using a sharp knife or razor blade, cut a shallow slit down the center of each roll. 16 Cover with the cloche lid and return to the oven. Bake covered for 15 minutes . Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped. ### Cooling 17 Transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool before using for your Philly cheese steak sandwiches.
