Ingredients
- 660g all purpose flour
- 200ml fresh orange juice
- 140ml warm milk
- 100ml olive oil
- 30g fresh yeast (or 10g dry)
- 1tsp sugar
- 1tsp salt
- ½tsp dried oregano
- ½tsp dried, ground coriander
- 180g Kalamata olives, cut in slices
Instructions
1
Add the warm milk & sugar to the yeast and mix well. Set aside for a few minutes.
2
Put the flour in the bowl of your electric mixer. Add the salt & the dried herbs and blend for a few seconds. Add the olive oil, the orange juice and the yeast mixture. Knead on medium speed, for about 5 minutes till your dough is smooth & elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot. Let it rise for 45min.
3
Once it has doubled in size, give it a quick knead and add the olives. Mix for about 2min. The olives will add some extra moisture to the dough, so it may be a little sticky. Do not add extra flour. Use olive oil to oil your work surface, your spatula or your hands and manage the dough easily.
4
Take the dough out and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Shape your buns and put them in a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Let them rise again for 20 to 30min.
5
Bake in a preheated oven, at 180°C/350°F, for about 25min. until they have a nice golden brown colour.
Enjoy!
