Activate the yeast by mixing yeast and sugar with warm water, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

In a mixing bowl, combine plain flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture and mix until combined, about 10 minutes.

Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let the mixture rest for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, add olive oil and mix until combined, which may take another 10-15 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead lightly to smooth it out.

Divide the dough into four portions (or six for smaller rolls) and cover with cling wrap and a tea towel for 20 minutes.

Prepare a baking tray with baking paper and sprinkle with flour.

Shape the rolls by placing them on the tray and gently pressing down to create indentations, ensuring they are spaced apart.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Cover the rolls with cling wrap for a final rise of 10 minutes before baking.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown, without opening the oven during baking.

Once cooked, cover with a towel and let cool for 5 minutes.
