Homemade Olive Oil Bread Rolls

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast ((1.4 grams))
• 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons water (lukewarm) ((162 grams))
• 3/4 teaspoon honey ((5.30 grams))
• 2 cups flour (all purpose or bread flour) ((250 grams))
• 1/2 teaspoon salt ((2.85 grams))
• 3 tablespoons olive oil ((40 grams))

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl add the water and honey, sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes. Then stir.

2. 2

   In the bowl of your stand up mixer whisk together the flour and salt, make a well in the middle and add the yeast mixture and oil. With the hook attachment knead until the dough comes together and forms a ball (about 10-12 minutes, stop halfway and scrape off the dough from the hook and the sides of the bowl).

3. 3

   Remove the dough to a flat surface and knead into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl (roll in the dough in the bowl), cover and let rise in a warm draft free area for approximately 2 hours, or doubled in bulk.

4. 4

   Remove the dough from the bowl and punch down, form into 10 - 12 balls (keep the dough covered while making the balls), place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, cover and let rise in a warm draft free area for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.

5. 5

   Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C).

6. 6

   Brush the dough balls with a little olive oil and bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, until golden and when tapped on the bottom there is a hollow sound. Let cool or eat warm. Enjoy!
