Ingredients
- 330g plain flour
- 1⁄2 tsp salt
- 5g instant dry yeast
- 1⁄2 tsp sugar
- 20ml vegetable oil
- 355ml lukewarm water
Method
Step 1
In a bowl combine all the ingredients and add 90% of the water. Mix for about 10 minutes until the dough reaches full dough consistency. Transfer the dough to a slightly oiled container and cover with plastic until it is doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Place the dough on a oured counter. Divide the dough into sections of about 85g each, and let them rest for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Shape the rolls into 12 - 14 balls. Flatten each roll with your at hand. Make an indent in the middle of the flattened dough with the side of your hand and fold in half.
Step 4
Place the roll on a oured counter with open side down. Twist the ends with your fingers to make a small twisted point.
Step 5
Cover with tea towel and leave for 30 minutes to proof.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 260°C.
Step 7
Place the proofed rolls on parchment paper on a peel, with open side up, and brush with milk. Bake for 13-15 minutes until light brown.
