It’s the crunch time for Thanksgiving and I am getting ready for the ultimate dinner rolls. They are so soft and pillowy, which makes devouring them so easy. I also fill half of them with sun-dried tomatoes and olives to mix them up a bit. Filled ones are especially great for mini sandwiches with leftovers.
Makes 10 rolls with 25cm/10inch skillet
Ingredients
180 ml (3/4 cup) milk, lukewarm
60 ml (1/4 cup) water, lukewarm
4 gr (1 tsp) yeast
8 gr (1 tsp) honey
1 large egg
340 gr (2 1/2 cup) bread flour or ap
5 gr (1 tsp) salt
Topping;
Flakey sea salt
Optional filling;
25 gr (4 tbsp) sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
25 gr (3 tbsp) black olives, sliced
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine milk, water, yeast, and honey. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
2. Whisk the egg in a small bowl and save 1 tbsp for later use.
3. In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, combine flour with salt. Make a well and pour milk/yeast mixture and the whisked egg. Knead for 10 minutes by hand or with a stand mixer at slow speed. Cover the bowl and let the dough proof for an hour or until it doubles in size.
4. Lightly oil a cast-iron skillet. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Shape them in a ball, and if desired, fill 5 of them with tomatoes and olives. Arrange the dough balls on the cast iron pan and cover with cling film to proof for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F.
6. Gently apply an egg wash with reserved 1 tbsp egg and top with sea salt. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool. Enjoy!
