No-knead French Rolls
"Some people believe you need to knead the dough a lot. I don't. Once it is mixed, that's all you have to do. The rising is the important part," says Jolene Catlin of this versatile no-knead yeast dough.
How to Make It
Step 1

Punch dough down. On a floured board, cut dough into 16 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball; place 2 to 3 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover lightly and let rise until almost doubled, 10 to 20 minutes.
