Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams instant yeast
- 10 grams salt
- 30 grams sugar
- 300 milliliters warm water
- 60 milliliters olive oil
- 1 egg (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or a spatula until the dough begins to come together.
Add the olive oil and continue mixing until the dough forms a sticky ball.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into 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 it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it back to the floured surface.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun by tucking the edges under and rolling it on the surface with the palm of your hand to get smooth, tight balls.
Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun. Cover them with the damp cloth again and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
If using, beat the optional egg and lightly brush the tops of the buns. For a completely dairy-free, vegan option, you can brush them with a little olive oil or leave them unbrushed.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
