Preparation of RitaAmordicucina’s Oil Buns
The first thing to do is pour into a bowl: the lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar; mix and let sit for 5 minutes.
Just enough time for the yeast to activate.
After that time, pour the flour into the mixer’s bowl, the oil, water with yeast, and salt; knead well for 10 minutes.
Bimby knead 4 min.
Let the dough rise for 2 hours covered with plastic wrap and a well-rolled tablecloth.
After 2 hours, the dough has doubled.
Take the risen dough and place it on a lightly floured pastry board.
You will notice that the dough is a bit sticky. Perfect, that’s how it should be.
Divide it into 8 parts and form balls with your palms.
Widen each ball with your hands to form a rectangle without pressing too much.
Then roll up the buns, and place them on the baking sheet.
With the help of a knife, make cuts in the buns, cover them with a cloth and let them rise for another 2 hours.
If instead, you want to opt for small roses, the initial balls should be 16,
roll them like the buns, but place them standing on the baking tray.
Let rise for 2 hours.
As for the small roses, after rising, if desired, you can sprinkle sesame seeds on top, and then bake.
The oven should be at 392°F static, for about 30 minutes, but this depends on the type of oven.
At the end of cooking, let the bread rest on a rack to dry.
Both the small roses, and…
RitaAmordicucina’s oil buns are ready, fragrant and crunchy, to bring to the table.
