Easy homemade rosemary and taggiasche olive dinner rolls.
Ingredients
  • 3¾ cup (400 g) manitoba flour
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) sea salt    
  • 2 teaspoons (9g) raw sugar
  • 1 - ½ cups warm water
  • Pitted taggiasche olives (or pitted kalamata olives) 
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
Instructions
  1. In a medium ceramic bowl combine the following ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, sugar and water. Knead vigorously for 10 minutes. 
  2. {First leavening phase} Turn the oven on so it just turns on the light, i.e. the lowest setting possible. Cover the bowl with a damp dish cloth and put in the oven for 1 hour.
  3. {Second leavening phase} Shut off the oven, remove the bowl and knead the dough for a few minutes. Divide the dough into 10 balls and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place in the unheated oven for 30 minutes. 
  4. {Third leavening phase} Take the cookie sheet out of the oven, knead each ball of dough for a few minutes while adding a pinch of rosemary and 6-7 olives for every ball. Replace in the unheated oven for 45 minutes. 
  5. Remove the cookie sheet and heat the oven to 482°F (250°C). When the oven is ready, bake the dinner rolls for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 392°F (200°C). Turn the dinner rolls upside down and continue baking for 10 minutes. Store in a paper bag.
