Bread Rolls

Ingredients
500g Strong Bread Flour
1 Teaspoon large grained seasalt
1-2 Teaspoons castor sugar
1 Jug of warm water
1 Teaspoon of quick yeast
1 Egg
Some poppy seeds
Olive Oil

  1. Preheat the oven to 220° C and put parchment paper on a baking tray.
  2. Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Gradually add warm water whilst mixing until the dough is slightly sticky. Stop adding water when the dough becomes sticky!
  4. Add some olive oil to give the bread flavour, moisture and to preserve it.
  5. Knead the dough until it is smooth.
  6. Split the mixture into six sections and roll into ball shapes.
  7. Leave to prove in a warm place,  ie. warming oven, grill which is turned off, for about an hour until the bread has doubled in size.
  8. Crack an egg into a small bowl and add a tiny bit of oil. Whisk this quickly with a fork. Brush this mixture on the bread roll. Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the top of the bread. 
  9. Bake in the oven until golden and risen, about 15 minutes. The base of the buns should sound hollow when you tap them. Turn on to a wire rack to cool.
