Proofing Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
Servings: 9 Rolls

Ingredients

  • 360 g AP Flour 3 cups
  • 2 tsp Sea salt
  • 2 tsp Granulated sugar
  • tsp Instant yeast
  • 50-60 g Extra Virgin Olive Oil ¼ cup
  • 200 g Water warm (~105°F), ¾ cup + 2 tbsp
  • 25 g Olive Oil 2 tbsp, for brushing

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, add all of your ingredients except the additional 2 tbsp of oil. Mix on low until dough is smooth and stretchy, not sticking to the sides of the bowl nor should it tear easily. (10-20 minutes)
  • Remove dough, shape into a ball. Lightly grease bowl with olive oil and replace dough.
  • Cover and let sit in a warm space until dough has doubled in size. (1-2 hours)
  • Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment. Set aside.
  • When dough is ready, punch down and transfer to workspace.
  • Divide dough into 8-12 equal portions. Weighing the dough will help insure equal size rolls, but is not required.
  • Flatten each piece of dough into a rectangular shape, then roll into a cylinder. Roll the cylinder into a rope about 12 inches long. Curl the dough around itself into a spiral shape. If you want the rolls to be more flat after baking, be sure to not shape them too tightly or the rolls will expand up more than out.
  • Place dough ball in prepared baking sheet, then repeat with the rest of the portions of dough.
  • Cover your baking pan and allow your dough to proof in a warm place for 30-45 minutes. While your dough is proofing, preheat your oven.
  • When dough is ready, use the remaining olive oil to brush the rolls. Place the baking sheet on the center rack of your oven. Bake for about 22-24 minutes until the tops of your bread are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, and use parchment to remove rolls from pan and onto a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool 10-20 minutes before enjoying.
  • Store uneaten rolls in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
