1. Pour warm water into a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over top, and let stand until frothy at least ten minutes. 2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, along with the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon each of the herbs. 3. The remaining oil, and herbs get mixed together in a bowl for the final brushing later after formed, but just before going into the oven. 4. Add in 3 cups of the flour and make a soft dough. Place onto a floured bread board and knead for 10 to 15 minutes, adding just enough flour as needed only. 5. Place in a oiled large bowl, turning to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. 6. Set into a draft free warm area and let double about 2 hours. 7. Grease baking sheet and set aside. 8. After doubled punch down the dough and divide into twelve portions, to make 12 buns. Roll, pinch and form by tucking under. 9. Place onto prepared baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator of up to 24 hours. But not less than 12 hours. 10. When ready to bake remove and place on counter and let come to room temperature, which will take about an hour or so. 11. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 12. Mix the remaining oil and herbs if you haven't already done so, and brush tops of each roll. 13. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes until golden or tapping bottoms sound hollow. 14. I also have sliced red or yellow tomatoes or grape tomatoes and placed on top before baking. Also caramelize a thinly sliced onion and you can also place that on top of each and they become crispy while baking also. 15. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
