Method
- Weigh the flours into the bowl of the stand mixer along with the salt. Briefly mix together the dry ingredients with a spoon.
- Crumble the yeast into the water and mix with a small whisk until dissolved. Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl of the stand mixer on top of the flours.
- Mix on a slow speed with a dough hook until the mixture comes together. Then increase to a medium-fast speed for 7-minutes. Add the oil and continue to mix on a medium-fast speed for about 3-minutes or until the oil is absorbed.
- Turn the dough out, using a scraper if required, onto a lightly oiled surface and shape into a ball. Place the ball into a lightly oiled bowl and leave to rise for about 2-hours by which time it should have doubled in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and flatten slightly before cutting into eight pieces of equal weight. Flatten each piece slightly and bring the edges into the middle to form a ball. Roll the balls once or twice on the table to get a nice rounded shape.
- Place the balls of dough on a baking tray, spacing them evenly and cover with a linen cloth. Leave them to prove for about 90-minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 220℃ for at least 30mins before baking.
- Immediately before placing the rolls in the oven, remove the linen cloth and quickly slash the tops with a sharp knife or baker’s lamé.
- Put the tray of rolls in the oven and immediately spray water inside liberally with a spray bottle to create steam. Quickly shut the door and turn the oven down to 200℃. Set your timer for 14 minutes.
- Once the 14 mins have passed, take the rolls out of the oven and place them on a rack to cool. After an hour or so, you can break into them and enjoy!
