Yeasty Fast Rise Bolillos





































Psalm 52:6-7


    [6] The righteous shall see and fear,

        and shall laugh at him, saying, 

    [7] “See the man who would not make

        God his refuge,

    but trusted in the abundance of his riches

        and sought refuge in his own destruction!”



Oh my goodness!

These are delicious and easy.

Thanks Patrick!



3-3/4c AP flour

2 T yeast (3 packets active dry)

1-1/4 c warm water

1/4 c olive oil

5 T sugar

1 beaten egg

1-1/4 t kosher salt




Add 2 T of yeast to 1.25 cups of warm water. Whisk 5 T of sugar and 1/4 c olive oil.  Let sit for 5-10 minutes.


Add 3.75 cups flour, 1-1/4 t salt, and 1 egg. Mix with a spatula and then place onto a parchment sheet on counter.  Knead with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough. Add additional flour if it's sticking to your hands.

Using spatula cut into eight equal parts. Roll into balls.  


Flatten into oval shapes. Flip 1/4 of the disk towards you and seal. Now pull that part towards you and seal again. Continue until you have a tube of dough. Give a quick roll while putting pressure on the ends to get the traditional bolillo shape.


Cover and let rise for 10-30 minutes. Using kitchen shears, snip a lengthwise 1/4 inch deep slit on the bolillos just before baking. 

Bake preheated oven for 8-15 minutes at 425F.

Cool.
