1 tsp salt
125 ml  or ½ cup water

Method

Leave until doubled in size*

Pre heat the oven to 220c

Chop into 16 pieces the same size

Knead each piece slightly and then 'tuck' the corners underneath to bake a ball

Pop on an oven tray and leave for a couple of minutes

Bake for 8 minutes

*With these dough balls, you can get away with little or no proving, though under-proved dough cracks when baked (not that it matters if your priority is quick bread). Proving gives you beautifully rounded dough balls and takes about 45 minutes depending on your room temperature. To test for fully risen dough give it a little prod, the dough should spring back quickly. If you're aiming for speed, a ten minute prove will do
