There is great satisfaction in creating homemade dishes with our own hands, and among the greatest satisfactions are surely the making of leavened products. Today I want to share with you these soft rolls, very simple but with excellent results. Everything is kneaded by hand very quickly, we just need to have the patience to wait for the dough to rise, and that’s it. The rolls are delicious on their own and even more when stuffed. Come with me, let’s start cooking.

Enjoy the recipe, Giusi.

Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

I used Type 1 flour, if you change flour remember that each flour absorbs differently.. so the dough might need additional water or flour depending on the flour used.

500 g Type 1 Flour
11.5 oz water (Lukewarm)
7 g dry yeast
15 g fine salt

Steps

In a bowl, pour the flour with the yeast and mix.
Start adding the streamed water, mix well the dough and when the dough is almost formed also add the salt and the rest of the water.
Work the dough for a few minutes on a floured surface, if the dough is still sticky add a bit of flour, work until you create a dough ball.
Once the dough ball is ready place it inside a bowl cover with cling film and let it rise for at least three hours inside the turned-off oven.
After the rising time, pour the dough onto a floured surface and create a loaf and divide it into six parts.
Take the dough ball and start folding all four sides from the outside to the inside until you form a ball, I gave it an oval shape.
Repeat this operation to create all the rolls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another hour, cover with another tray or with cling film.
After the second rising time, bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 20 minutes in the middle of the oven.
