Ingredients
Serves: 12
- 7g dried active baking yeast
- 225ml (8 fl oz) warm water (45 C)
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 dessertspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 320g (11 oz) plain flour
Preparation method
Prep: 2 hours | Cook: 25 mins1.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Lightly grease two baking trays.
2.
In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the sugar, salt, oil and 125g of flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 70g at a time, beating well after each addition.
3.
When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.
4.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
5.
Preheat oven to 165 C / Gas mark 3.
6.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and form into rolls. Place the rolls on prepared baking trays. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
7.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool.

Great recipe, a little less salt as everyone else has said and bread flour instead plain flour, they raised wonderfully (couldnt believe how well) and tasted lovely, next time with a little less salt they will be perfect

Just made these and they didn't rise. i must have done something wrong, never mind. But they had way to much salt. Shame as this was my first attempt at making bread. Easy to follow though !!

I made this yesterday and it was great! Perhaps a tad salty, I'll put less in next time. It also didn't rise quite as much as it says it will in the recipe, so maybe it'd be worth changing half the plain flour for self raising. Other than that, it worked great!

This was my first attempt at bread. th recipe was easy to follow and got great feedback from my collegues. The only nrgative was the quantity of salt (next time I'll use a little less) and they werent as crusty as I'd hoped, but still a good recipe.
