• 110 g Bread flour
• 3 g Active dry yeast
• 3/4 pinch Salt
• 110 ml Milk
• 9 g Butter, unsalted
• 3/8 tsp Olive oil

Method

1. Put both flours in a large mixing bowl, then stir in the dried yeast and salt. Make a well in the centre.
2. Put the milk and butter into a small pan and heat gently, stirring frequently until the milk is warm and the butter has melted.
3. Pour the warm liquid into the well of the dry ingredients and stir to form a slightly sticky dough.
4. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead for 7-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Put the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size.
6. Lightly grease two baking sheets with the teaspoon of olive oil and dust lightly with flour.
7. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead lightly.
8. Divide the dough into 16 evenly sized pieces. Roll each piece into balls and place on the baking sheets (8 on each) with plenty of space between each ball.
