- 300 g bread flour
- 230 g lukewarm water
- 1 1/2 teaspoon yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 11/2 teaspoon salt
- 30 ml olive oil + extra for brushing
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 100 g sun-dried tomatoes - in oil if not in oil, add 20 ml more water
In a large bowl add the lukewarm water, sugar and yeast. Mix well and set aside for a couple of minutes.
Add the flour, olive oil, salt and herbs to the yeast mixture. Combine together until you get a uniform dough. It should be sticky!
Don’t put any extra flour. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes pieces and fold the dough until they are evenly distributed.. Cover and let rest for 1 hour 30 minutes, until it doubles in size.
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and dust it with flour. Set aside
Once the dough is doubled in size, transfer it to a well floured surface. Flour your hands generously. Without punching out any air, flatten the dough to create a large rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 equal long strips. Place the pieces of dough on the prepared tray keeping a good amount of space between each one. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C or 400°F while the buns are rising.
Drizzle some olive oil over the rested strips, and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, until the buns have a nice golden brown colour.
