Instructions
TOTAL TIME
15 Minutes (+2 hours of dough resting)8 Rolls servings
STEP 1: Mix the Dough
In a mixing bowl whisk together the discard, milk, honey, and oil. Add flour and salt and mix until combined. Knead for 2 to 4 minutes. Your dough will be slightly sticky, and smooth.
STEP 2: Shape and Rest the Dough
Shape dough into a ball. Place in Bannaton basket. Cover with towel and rest on the counter for about two hours.
STEP 3: Divide and Roll
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the dough into eight equal pieces. Roll into a rope about 10 to 12 inches long. Tie each rope into a knot tucking end under.
STEP 4: Brush and Proof
Brush with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for about 25 to 30 minutes.
STEP 5: Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 450°F.
STEP 6: Bake Until Brown
Bake rolls 12 to 14 minutes or until brown on top.
STEP 7: Brush with Garlic Butter
Remove rolls from oven and brush with garlic butter. Fresh-baked rolls deserve a good pairing — try Traditional Italian Beef Braciole to mop up that sauce, or keep it vegetable-forward with Simple Dinners from the Garden. Italian Chicken and Potatoes (Pollo alla Contadina) is a rustic match made in heaven, and Baccalà (Codfish Recipe) makes for a beautiful Friday night centrepiece. Open a box of Gratsi boxed wine to bring it all together.
