Directions
- Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. ≈ 4 min
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and oil. Add the water to the yeast and knead on a floured surface until the dough is smooth and no longer sticks, about 20 minutes.
- Form a large ball, place it in a lightly floured container, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for 40 minutes.
- Release the dough, add the olives, and knead until they are evenly distributed. ≈ 10 min
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape them into small rolls. Make 3 or 4 cuts on the top of each roll, place them on a baking sheet, and let them rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, halfway through the cooking time.
