Ingredients

  • 150 g whole wheat flour (rye flour works as well)
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 25 g fresh yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 180 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Pour the flours into a bowl, making sure the white flour is on top. Create a small well in the middle and crumble the yeast into it.
  • Add the lukewarm water and knead by hand. There’s no need to knead for too long at this stage, just combine the ingredients so the dough starts coming together. Cover it and let it rest in a warm place for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, add the olive oil and salt. Now knead the dough more firmly. Don’t be gentle with it – punch it, slap it, and throw it against the bowl if needed. The goal is for the dough to become smooth and shiny, pull away from the sides of the bowl, and develop air bubbles inside. Really work that dough!
  • After that, both you and the dough deserve a little rest. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.

  • After 40 minutes, the dough should roughly double in size.

  • Remove it from the bowl and divide it into 4 or 5 portions – whichever you prefer. Shape the portions into rolls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover again and let them rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place.

  • I usually don’t brush the tops with anything, but if you’d like them shinier, you can brush them with milk, water, or egg yolk before baking.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C / 392°F (top and bottom heat with fan/convection) for 20-25 minutes.
  • Once baked, let the rolls cool completely before eating them.
  • I usually store them in a bag in the refrigerator. This way, they keep for about one week (although they never lasted that long in my house – they might even survive for two weeks). After taking them out of the fridge, I warm them up a little, and they taste just as delicious as when freshly baked.
