Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend the flour, sugar, and yeast. Dig a well in the center of this mixture and pour in the olive oil.
- Begin to knead by incorporating the water gradually until obtaining a homogeneous dough. Stir in the salt and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for 45 minutes. It must at least double in volume.
- Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise again, for about 20 minutes.
- Roll the dough and divide into 6 equal pieces. Then, roll each piece to a thickness of ½ inch, giving it an oval shape. Make holes on the entire surface of each bread using your finger.
- Brush each bread roll with warm water and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
