I was on the hunt one day for Hard Rolls at the grocery stores and was unable to find exactly what I was looking for.  A friend of mine gladly shared her simple recipe to make them from scratch.  They were perfect! And so easy to make!

A great roll with a crusty outside, soft, chewy inside

1. Pour 2 1/2 cups flour into a large bowl and form a well in the center.
2. In a separate container, mix yeast, sugar, and two tablespoons water (water comes from the 1 cup above).
3. Pour yeast mixture into the well but do not mix with the flour at this time.
