Rising Tiome: 1 hr 10 min

Combine the lemon zest and the oil in  a small bowl and let marinate 
for at least 1 hr.

Put the flour onto a clean work surface make a well in the center. 
Dissolve the yeast in the water.  Pour the yeast mixture into the 
well and gradually start incorporating it into the flour a little at 
a time.  When the dough begins to take shape, add the oil flavored 
with the lemon zest.  Lastly, add the salt and continue kneading 
until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic.

Shape the pieces into loaves.

Arrange them on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and let rise, 
covered with lightly greased sheet of plastic wrap, until doubled in 
volume, about 1 hr.

Bake in the oven at 350F (180C) for 20 min, or until golden brown.

Chef's Tip:
You can decorate the rolls with a few strips of lemon zest on top, 
but wait to add them until the rolls are almost done because lemon 
zest tends to dry out and darken in the oven.
