Pop the yeast in the lukewarm water and mix it around, then leave for 10 minutes.

Put the flour and salt in a large bowl and mix well.

Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and melted butter, then mix well to form a soft, slightly tacky dough.

Turn the dough out onto a surface and knead well for about 10 minutes until springy.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Turn the risen dough out, knock it back to release gas, and knead for an additional 5 minutes.

Divide the dough into 9 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball and shaping them by pulling the edges into the center.

Place the shaped rolls on a lightly greased tray, spaced about a centimeter apart, and cover with a large plastic bag to prove for 30 to 40 minutes until they touch.

Glaze the rolls with a little olive oil if desired.

Bake in a fan oven at 190°C (210°C normal oven) for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
