Ingredients

  • 500 g bread flour or plain flour
  • 4 g sugar 1 tsp
  • 10 g salt 1 1/2 tsp
  • 7 g active dry yeast
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 100 ml water lukewarm
  • 250 ml milk lukewarm

Instructions

  • In a small bowl mix together the lukewarm water, milk, yeast and sugar. Set the mixture aside until it froths. This usually takes about 15 minutes.
  • In a mixer or in a large bowl, mix the flour and the salt together and make a well. Add the olive oil and the yeast mixture in the well.
  • Start kneading or mixing the dough in the mixer. If you are going to knead the dough by hand it should take you about 20 minutes. Whereas with the mixer, the dough should be done in 10 minutes. The dough should be sticky, so don’t add any extra flour to it.
  • Place the dough in a bowl, cover and let it proof for about 1 hour. After this resting time, it should be double in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Once rested, punch the dough down on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 10 pieces. Shape each piece as you like. Place on the baking tray. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Brush the bread rolls with some water. Bake the bread rolls for about 20/30 minutes until they have a nice golden brown colour.
  • Let it rest before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
