In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Add the warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 7

Shape each piece into a round ball and form a Kaiser roll shape by twisting or using a Kaiser roll stamp.

Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
