In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and sugar. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir together until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour sparingly.
Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a small roll by forming a rough rectangle, then rolling it into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (430Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and let rise again for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed.
Make a few diagonal slashes on the top of each roll with a sharp knife to allow for expansion and a beautiful crust.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
If desired, melt unsalted butter and brush it over the hot rolls for a richer flavor.
Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these deliciously crusty rolls fresh from the oven or store them in an airtight container for future use.
