Course Side Dish
Servings 15 dinner rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 12 gram rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 orange washed
  • 15 gram sugar
  • 275 gram water
  • 150 gram mature sourdough starter (100% hydration)
  • 500 gram Wheat flour
  • 50 gram olive oil
  • 10 gram sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Fry rosemary in olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Let cool.
  • Zest the orange and rub with sugar with the backside of a spoon or a palette to a paste.
  • Mix all ingredients except salt. Be sure that all flour is hydrated. Let the dough autolyzing for an hour.
  • Add salt and stretch and fold the dough 8 to 10 times. Perform 3 sets of stretch and folds during bulk fermentation, spaced out by 30 minutes. Total recommended bulk fermentation is 3-4 hours depending on ambient temperature. The dough in the recipe fermented for 3 hours in 77ºF / 25ºC. During colder seasons, you can place the dough in the oven with the light on only.
  • Dump out the dough on a lightly floured working space and divide it into 15 pieces. Form each piece into a ball. Be sure to get some tension on the surface. I use to squeeze the dough through the thumb and middle finger as shown above.
  • Let the rolls rise for 1,5 -2 hours. Preheat the oven to 480ºF / 250ºC with two oven plates. One to bake the bread on and one just below.
  • Score each loaf and place them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they have got a nice golden color. Pour some water on the plate below to create steam during the baking process.
  • Let them cool on a wire rack
