For 10 portions

Ingredients

For the dough:

400 g plain flour
250 g lukewarm water
50 g vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
25 g fresh yeast

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation Put the lukewarm water into the mixer bowl, crumble the yeast, add the sugar and let it activate for 5 minutes. Then add the flour, salt and oil. Knead with the hook for 5–7 minutes until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms.
Shaping the rolls Transfer the risen dough to a floured work surface, divide into 10 equal pieces. Divide each piece into three strands and braid them into rolls.
Final proofing Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a cloth and let them rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.
Baking Preheat the oven to 230 °C. Quickly brush the rolls with water (this helps create a crispy crust) and bake for 12 minutes, until they acquire a golden color.
Cooling Transfer the baked rolls to a rack and let them cool for 10 minutes so the crumb remains fluffy.
