Olive Oil Bread Rolls Recipes

OLIVE OIL BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together the warm water (110 degrees), yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil. Stir in 2 cups of the flour in order to make a soft ball. Knead in additional flour so that dough is soft and not sticky. Place kneaded dough in a medium size greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
• Punch down dough, and form into ball or loaf shape. Place onto a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise for 15 to 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.

Steps:

• In a small bowl add the water and honey, sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes. Then stir.
• In the bowl of your stand up mixer whisk together the flour and salt, make a well in the middle and add the yeast mixture and oil. With the hook attachment knead until the dough comes together and forms a ball (about 10-12 minutes, stop halfway and scrape off the dough from the hook and the sides of the bowl).
• Remove the dough to a flat surface and knead into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl (roll in the dough in the bowl), cover and let rise in a warm draft free area for approximately 2 hours, or doubled in bulk.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and punch down, form into 10 - 12 balls** (keep the dough covered while making the balls), place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, cover and let rise in a warm draft free area for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
• Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C).
• Brush the dough balls with a little olive oil and bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, until golden and when tapped on the bottom there is a hollow sound. Let cool or eat warm. Enjoy!

OLIVE OIL BREAD

Steps:

• Tip the flour into a mixing bowl. For easy-blend dried yeast, stir this into the flour. For fresh yeast, crumble it and rub into the flour as you would with butter when making pastry. Add the salt and sugar.
• Boil the kettle and measure 100ml into a jug. Top up with cold water to the 300ml mark. Test the temperature with your finger - it should feel perfectly hand-hot. Add the oil.
• Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid all at once. Mix quickly using your hands or a wooden fork to make a soft and slightly sticky dough. Wipe the dough around the bowl to pick up any loose flour.
• Sprinkle the work surface with flour and tip out the dough. Knead by stretching it away from you, then folding it in half towards you and pushing it away with the heel of your hand. Give it a quarter turn and repeat, developing a rhythm.
• When the dough is smooth, put it back into the mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for 1 hr (no need to find a warm place). The dough is ready when it springs back when you press it with your finger. (At this stage, you can add other flavourings - see 'Goes well with', right).
• Tip dough onto a floured surface, knead to remove air bubbles. Shape into a round, place on an oiled baking sheet and slash top with sharp knife. Cover and rise for 30 mins. Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8. Bake for 30-35 mins until browned and crisp.

OLIVE ROLLS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush parchment with oil; set aside. Oil a large bowl; set aside. Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir until dissolved.
• Put 3 cups flour and the salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add yeast mixture and oil; mix on medium speed until a soft dough forms, adding more flour if needed. Add olives and red pepper flakes; mix until fully combined, about 15 minutes.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth and olives are set firmly in the dough, about 15 minutes. Transfer to oiled bowl. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface; gently flatten. Using a butter knife, cut dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a cylinder, and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Cover with oiled plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake rolls until tops are crisp and dark brown, about 15 minutes. Serve.

OLIVE OIL BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• I use my Kenwood Mixer to make the dough. Attach dough hook. Put mixer bowl onto scales, zero the scales. Weigh the flour, add the salt separate from the yeast. Add the sugar, season with some freshly ground black pepper, mix together, make a well in the centre, add the olive oil, turn on dough hook to mix, then slowly add the water and mix to a soft dough, all the water might not be needed. Knead in the olives. Mix to a very soft stretchy dough that leaves the sides of the bowl clean. Remove from the bowl, shape in to a 'round', grease the inside of the mixer bowl with some olive oil, return the dough to the bowl, cover with an oiled piece of Clingfilm and leave in a warm place to double in size, about an hour. After an hour, punch down, turn on to a lightly oiled non- stick surface, knead smooth and roll into a long snake to cut out 12 equal pieces, roll these pieces into a smooth ball & place on a lightly oiled baking sheet, cover loosely with the piece of lightly oiled clingfilm & leave to rise another 30mins until doubled in size. I usually find if you have a double oven, pre-heat the bottom half. Whilst the bottom half is pre-heating- place the tray with the bread rolls in the small top oven, the heat from the bottom oven will help the rolls to rise.
• Once the rolls have risen & are touching each other, remove clingfilm, place on oven shelf just above centre & bake 20mins until golden brown.
• Brush with melted butter that has been mixed with a little extra virgin olive oil & leave to cool on a wire rack. Eat hot with some butter, or on the side of some nice soup, or serve any way you like!
