How to prepare appetizer dinner rolls
- Mix the yeast, a teaspoon of honey and 50 ml warm water in a cup and leave in a warm place for 10-15 minutes, until you see foam forming on top, a sign that the yeast is active.
- Dissolve the rest of the honey in 250 ml warm water.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the honey water, yeast water and oil. Mix with your hand until the dough comes together. Continue kneading by hand for a few more minutes, then knead one cycle in a bread machine or 3 minutes in a stand mixer on kneading mode. You will get an elastic dough, only slightly sticky.
- Place the dough in a bowl greased with oil, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place (26-30C).
- Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and divide into 8 equal pieces, trying to handle it as gently as possible so you don't break the air bubbles.
- Form the rolls by pulling the edges of the dough underneath.
- Place the rolls in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Put the tray in a large plastic bag making sure it doesn't touch the rolls. Let rise for another 1 hour in a warm place.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200C. Sprinkle a little coarse salt on each roll. Bake the rolls for 10-15 minutes. After 10 minutes, watch them and when they are nicely golden, take them out.
- They are good warm or at room temperature. They are best in the first 2 days.
