Dough
In a bowl or measuring cup, add the water, yeast and honey and stir until everything has dissolved. In a mixing bowl, add the flour and salt.
Slowly add the yeast mixture to the flour while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until everything has combined into a sticky dough. If needed add another teaspoon of water. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise for about two hours.
Bread Rolls
Preheat the oven to 220°C or 430°F (or 200°C or 400°F for a convection oven) and place an ovenproof bowl filled with water on the bottom of the oven.
Transfer the dough on a floured work surface and carefully shape it into a ball. Then divide the dough into eight equal sized pieces. Slightly flatten the triangles and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush each triangle with water and sprinkle with some seeds or rolled oats if desired. Cut the top of each roll lengthwise and transfer the tray to the oven for about 20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown on top.
Serve
Remove the rolls from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
