Ingredients:
500 grams of bread flour
250 ml of warm water
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
25 grams fresh baker’s yeast
Preparation:
- Put the flour, salt, sugar and extra virgin olive oil in a large bowl and add the yeast dissolved in warm water. Knead for about ten minutes. Cut portions of dough of about 80 grams and form balls. We obtain about 10 balls, which we place on a tray and cover with a damp cloth. Let rest for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- We preheat the oven, to 220 or 250ºC, heat up and down, with the tray where we are going to bake the bread inside. This is very important since the tray must be very hot. If you have a baking stone, it is ideal, but I suppose most of you (like me) don’t have one.
- We lightly flour the counter, and with the rolling pin we flatten each ball. We put it on the tray, we will make two batches of five. We bake between 8 and 10 minutes, you will see that they swell, this is important, since this way the two layers separate and there are gaps.
- Take them out and keep them warm, covered with a kitchen towel. If they get cold, you can warm them up a little in the toaster.
