OLIVE OIL AND
ROSEMARY ROLLS
These rolls go well with dinner, but could
also be used as small sandwich rolls.
Makes 12 rolls
¼ cup flavorful extra-virgin olive oil
tablespoons chopped
fresh rosemary
teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (105° to 110°F)
cups unbleached bread or
all-purpose flour, divided
teaspoons sea salt
(may use kosher salt)
cornmeal for the baking sheet
1. Combine the olive oil and rosemary, let
stand 10 minutes or longer.
2. Put the yeast and warm water in a large
mixing bowl with a pinch of the flour. Stir
to dissolve yeast and let stand for 5 to 10
minutes. Mixture will foam and bubble –
this means the yeast is alive and active.
3. Put the flour and salt in a separate, small
mixing bowl.
4. Insert the dough hooks into the Cuisinart
®
Hand Mixer and add the olive oil and
rosemary mixture, with ½ cup of the flour,
to the yeast mixture. Using speeds 1 to
2, mix until smooth, about 30 to 40 sec-
onds. Continue adding the flour, ½ cup
at a time, mixing completely, about 30 to
40 seconds, until no flour is visible after
each addition. The dough at first will be a
batter, and slowly, as the flour is added,
the batter will form a dough ball that
cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. After
all the flour has been incorporated, knead
on speed 3 for about 2 minutes.
5. Dust dough ball lightly with flour and
place in a resealable food storage bag,
press out air and seal. Let rise in a warm,
draft-free place until doubled in size,
about 1 hour. Punch down and let rise
again for 1 hour (this second rise can be
skipped if pressed for time, but it adds to
the flavor and texture).
6. Punch dough to deflate and let rest 10
minutes. Lightly dust a baking sheet with
cornmeal. Divide dough into 12 equal
size pieces. Roll each piece of dough
on a work surface and shape into a ball.
Flatten slightly. Transfer to prepared bak-
ing pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let
rise at room temperature until almost
doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.
7. Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat
the oven to 450°F. Uncover and bake at
450°F for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat
to 375°F and bake for an additional 10
to 15 minutes, until browned and hollow
sounding when tapped. Place on a wire
rack to cool.
