Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Whole wheat flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 350 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 10 grams Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 50 grams Black olives, pitted and chopped
- 50 grams Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and instant yeast.
In another bowl or a measuring jug, mix warm water, olive oil, and honey until well combined.
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the flour and yeast, stirring with a wooden spoon or a dough whisk until the dough starts to come together.
Add the salt, rosemary, thyme, black olives, and sun-dried tomatoes to the dough and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air bubbles, and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a small oval roll similar to mini-baguettes by rolling and gently stretching the dough.
Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover them with a damp cloth, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) while the rolls are on their second rise.
Before baking, lightly score the tops of the rolls with a sharp knife.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
