If using pizza flour or all-purpose flour, sift it to ensure a finer texture and better incorporation of ingredients.

Measure Ingredients: Measure out the cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, quick-rise instant yeast, organic raw cane sugar, pink Himalayan salt, purified mountain spring water, beaten free-range egg, organic poppy seeds, and toasted sesame seeds as per the quantities listed.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted pizza flour or all-purpose flour, quick-rise instant yeast, organic raw cane sugar, and pink Himalayan salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly using a whisk or spoon.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, purified mountain spring water, and lightly beaten free-range egg.

Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until they start to come together. Then, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.

Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn the dough to coat it with the oil.

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it by pressing down with your fingertips. Divide the dough into equal-sized portions to form individual rolls.

Shape each portion into a round roll, gently tucking the edges underneath to create a smooth surface. Place the shaped rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for rising.

Cover the rolls loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for a second time in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes or until they increase in size.

Preheat your oven to the required baking temperature (usually around 400°F/200°C).

Egg Wash and Seed Topping: Brush the risen rolls lightly with the remaining beaten egg. Sprinkle the tops with the organic poppy seeds and toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Place the baking sheet with the prepared rolls into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve: Enjoy these freshly baked New York Hard Rolls warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for sandwiches, as dinner rolls, or as a delicious accompaniment to meals.
