In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let this mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it's frothy.

In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the flour and salt.

Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a rough dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a roll.

Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.

Preheat your oven to 425°F while the rolls are rising.

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
