🥐Why bake these rolls
Focaccia rolls are easy to make. They don’t need kneading – cold fermentation does all the work! So you don’t need to be perfect at making bread: these buns come out great for beginners!
You can choose the topping. From italian seasoning to everything bagel, brush these rolls with olive oil and use your favorite topping before baking.
They taste like bakery bread! Thanks to cold fermentation, these rolls taste like the one you get at a bakery.
It’s a soft option that goes great with sandwiches and burgers – just like my cheddar cheese buns!
📃Ingredients
All-purpose flour. Use all-purpose flour for this recipe – no need to get bread flour.
Instant yeast. You can use instant dry yeast or active dry yeast. If using active dry, don’t forget to activate it before starting using some of the amount of water asked for this recipe.
Olive oil. If you’re looking for a variation of flavor, try using a flavored olive oil both for the dough and brushing the rolls.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and substitutions.
Step 08. Just before baking, brush each roll with olive oil, topping with italian seasoning or the seasoning of choice.
Step 09. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, middle shelf, for 15 to 20 minutes.
Store them in a bread box, bag, or a clean airtight container. Rolls keep for up to 5 days.
✔️Expert tips
- Flour your hands when shaping the rolls if the dough is too sticky.
- Don’t forget to flour the surface you’ll be working on!
- Be careful not to overbake these rolls, or they will get too tough at the bottom.
- Resist the urge to add more flour to the dough than what’s asked (it will be really sticky before the cold fermentation, but it gets better), and if using cups to measure the ingredients, do not scoop flour directly from the bag: use a spoon to fill the cup with it.
- Fully preheat the oven before baking these rolls! Oven needs to be hot for proper baking/rising.
- You can omit the seasoning and just brush the rolls with olive oil.
🙋🏻♀️Questions you might have
I love making sandwiches and even burgers with these rolls! They’re delicious with cheese and pulled pork. They’re also fantastic for snacking, or having along with a side dish like eggplant caponata.
I have cold fermented these rolls with success for 12 and up to 36 hours. Less than that and you’ll get less flavor, more and you risk over proofing the dough – that will give you tough and flat rolls.
Yes, these rolls can be frozen after baking. Make sure they’re completely cooled before freezing, then freeze them using a freezer-safe bag. They’re good for about 3 months.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Stir until well mixed.
-
Add water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until there’s no dry spots left and dough is roughly formed. Dough will be less sticky after cold fermentation.
-
Cover and let it cold ferment for 12 to 18 hours in the refrigerator.
-
After cold fermentation, on a floured surface, portion the dough into 8 (for regular sized buns) or 12 (for mini buns) equal pieces.
-
Form a ball with each piece by folding the dough over itself 8 to 10 times, rotating ¼ each time, until the bun feels tight. Pinch all sides together to seal shaped roll.
-
Place each roll in a lined and floured baking sheet, pinched side down. Cover loosely and let them rise for 30 to 40 minutes.
-
Just before baking, brush each roll with the remaining olive oil (1 tablespoon), topping with italian seasoning or the seasoning of choice.
-
Bake in a preheated oven, 425 °F middle shelf, for 15 to 20 minutes. They will be ready when lightly golden on top.
-
Wait 10 minutes before serving the rolls.

Topping: use your favorite topping before baking. I've tried them with everything bagel, italian seasoning, oregano and just olive oil.
