Hi, Everyone! I hope you have all been having a great summer! After a month away, I'm finally back! We were back at home in Prague visiting my family for the past couple of weeks, and while we were there my mom and I made these delicious dinner rolls that I wanted to share with you today! I love homemade bread, especially the smell of it baking, it fills the house with such a cozy, inviting smell! These rolls were some of the best I've ever had! They were very easy to make, and other than the time it took for them to rise, they were very quick to make! Here's the recipe...

HOMEMADE CZECH DINNER ROLLS*Makes 16 rolls*YOU WILL NEED:500g (4 cups) all-purpose flour42g fresh yeast (about 2 1/2 tsp dry yeast)1/4 l water (about 8 1/2 oz)2 tsp sugar4 tbs oil*Toppings: You could add an egg wash on top of the rolls and sprinkle them with coarse salt or poppy seeds. 

DIRECTIONS:1. In a small bowl, combine yeast, water and sugar. Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit for a couple of minutes to give the yeast time to activate. Sift flour into your electric mixer bowl, and add the yeast mixture and the oil. Mix on medium speed, until a nice dough forms. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it and let rise in a warm place for at least an hour. 
2. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two halves. Roll each piece into about a 9-inch circle, then cut each circle into eight triangles, as if you were cutting up a round pizza. Then, roll each triangle like a croissant and place the rolls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 430 deg F (220 deg C) and bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls begin to brown on top. Let cool for a couple of minutes before eating.
