Roosterkoek

Ingredients

Cooks in:15-20 minutes        Serves:6-8

• 500g white bread flour
• 1 level tsp salt
• 350ml luke warm water
• 7g yeast
• 1 level tsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp Willow Creek Olive oil

What to do

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour and salt.

2. Add the water, yeast, sugar and olive oil to a large jug, stir to combine and leave to stand for a few minutes, or until you start to see bubbles on the surface of the water.

3. Add the water mixture to the flour and mix well, kneading until you have a smooth dough (or use a mixer with a dough hook attachment). Set aside in a clean bowl with a dash of olive oil to rise for about 1 hour, covered with a damp tea towel.

4. Knock back the dough, divide into 6-8 rolls, and leave to rise again for a few minutes. Flatten the portions gently with your hands, dust with a little flour if necessary and bake over low coals until golden, fragrant and cooked through.
