Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 10 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by dissolving the sugar in the warm water, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, then add the yeast mixture and the olive oil.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 6
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then elongate slightly to form a small oval shape.
Step 7
Place the shaped rolls on the prepared baking tray, leaving enough space between each roll. Cover them again with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 8
Just before baking, dust the rolls with a little flour and slash a shallow cut along the top of each roll with a sharp knife or a lame.
Step 9
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
