Prepare your ingredients: 360g strong white flour, 2tsp yeast, 1tsp salt, 2tbsp neutral-flavour oil, 225ml water
Weight out your flour into the bowl
Add the salt and yeast on different sides of the bowl
Add the oil and lukewarm water, do not pour directly on to the yeast
Mix to roughly combine with a spoon
Lightly sprinkle flour on to your kitchen surface
Knead for 8 - 10 minutes to develop the gluten
Use a dough scraper to stop it sticking to the surface
Keep kneading - you should to start to develop a rhythm
Negative windowpane test as it breaks when pulled apart
Keep kneading - it will start to feel soft and pliable
Positive windowpane test - it holds it shape when stretched and you can see light through it
Shape in to a ball
Lightly cover with oil
Place in a clean bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Leave to prove in a warm place for 45 minutes
Deflate the dough and place on your floured surface
You can add flavourings after the first prove - I chose chillis. Knead a few times to mix through
Split in to 6 roughly equal portions
Shape in to 6 rolls and place close together on a baking sheet
Cover with a damp tea towel and leave to prove for 45-60 minutes
Preheat your oven to 210 oC towards the end of your second prove
Sprinkle with warm water
Place at top of oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes at 210oC
The rolls feel light and hollow when cooked
Transfer to a cooling rack and enjoy!
