Ingredients

• 300 g All-purpose flour
• 100 g Whole wheat flour
• 7 g Active dry yeast
• 250 ml Warm water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 50 g Brown rice flour
• 1.5 tsp Sugar
• 3 g Instant yeast (for topping)
• 50 ml Water (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and active dry yeast.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water while stirring the mixture until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 60 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a roll and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Cover the shaped rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffed up.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 8

To prepare the topping, mix the brown rice flour, sugar, instant yeast, and water in a small bowl to form a thick paste.

Step 9

Spread the paste evenly over the tops of each roll using the back of a spoon. Ensure the paste covers the surface but does not drip down the sides.

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and the crust has developed the signature crackled look.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving.
