DINNER ROLLS THAT WILL MAKE YOU FORGET TO EAT THE DINNER!

The recipe below is an adapted sourdough version of our pizza+focaccia recipe made with a normal size bag of our sourdough pizza mix (400g pizza mix) + preferment mix that comes with our Sourdough pizza mix. And instead of making rolls, you can most certainly just make a sourdough focaccia as well - but the rolls get even more of that amazing stretchy crust.....

In addition 400 grams of pizza mix, you will need:

430g lukewarm water
10g of sugar
13g salt (in the dough)
16g olive oil (in the dough) + more olive oil along the way.
Up to 100 grams of active sourdough preferment dough (40 grams of mix + 60 grams of warm water) made 24 hours before. But the amount of preferment dough depends on how long a proof you plan for (see below).

You only need a bowl, a (sturdy) ladle (not with too thin a wooden handle), an ovenproof dish and baking paper.

To make a sourdough version of our pizza or focaccia, you first have to make a preferment by mixing up to 40g of preferment mix (the small silver bag sent with the pizza mix is 40 grams of preferment-flour mix) with 60 grams of lukewarm water. Depending on how much time you have, the following amounts of preferment dough (mix + water) should be used:

24 hours proofing: 45g g preferment dough (16 g mix + 27 g water)
18 hours proofing: 65 g preferment dough (26 g mix + 39 g water)
12 hours proofing: 75 g preferment dough (30 g mix + 45 g water)

Mix together the preferment mix and water and leave it on the counter in a warm place for 24 hours (preferably around 25 degrees C) to activate it.

After 24 hours, dissolve the sourdough preferment and sugar in the warm water. Pour in the olive oil (16g) and stir. Empty the contents of the bag of flour mix, stir and add the salt. Stir until the dough is smooth. It will be very sticky! Let rest for 30 minutes (under a lid).

Make your hands wet and make 8 dinner rolls - shaping them into a ball and rolling them in either brown rice/rice or sorghum flour. Place each roll on a baking sheet to proof - preferable with a loose fitting plastic wrap over (we actually place some taller glasses on the tray so that we can build a small tent for them :-))

Leave to proof according to your chosen schedule & amount of preferment mix. But remeber to start the oven at 220 degrees C(elcius) about an hour before the bake.

Once ready, bake for about 20-25 minutes.
