It is easy to transform basic bread dough into attractive dinner rolls in a variety of shapes. The rolls can be as simple as balls to more complicated individual plaits. Shape the rolls after the dough has been punched down and rested. Use 30-60 g dough for each roll. Place them well apart on lightly floured baking sheets, giving room for them to double in size.

Palmier
Roll a piece of dough into a rope of even width. Coil each end of the rope into the centre to form spirals.
Tourelle
Cut out three rounds of dough, each one smaller than the other. Place the rounds on top of each other.
