Ingredients
- 1[1/2] TB. active dry yeast
- 1[1/2] cups warm water
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 6 TB. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine yeast, warm water, and sugar, and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Add 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and 1 cup all-purpose flour, and stir to combine. Add another 1 cup all-purpose flour, and begin to knead dough. Add remaining 1 cup all-purpose flour, and knead for about 3 minutes or until dough comes together in a ball. If you're using an electric stand mixer, use the dough attachment to knead dough.

- Preheat the oven to 420ºF. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
- Uncover the bowl, and gently pull dough together into a ball. Divide dough into 16 pieces, lightly dust with flour, and on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Transfer rolls to a plate, and brush with remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
