Marigold bread rolls recipe
- 2 x 7g sachets of fast-action dried yeast
- 320 ml (11.3fl oz) lukewarm water
- 1 tsp honey
- 500 g (17.6oz) strong white flour (organic if possible) plus extra for dusting
- 20 g (0.7oz) semolina
- 10 g (0.4oz) sea salt
- 50 ml (1.8fl oz) olive oil
- 70 g (2.5oz) sunflower seeds
- 1 handful of marigold petals
- 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing
- This quantity makes between 15 and 20 rolls.
- To make the dough; into your mixer add the flour, semolina, olive oil, sunflower seeds, marigold petals, honey and yeast.
- Then pour in the lukewarm water.
- Let this mix on a low setting for at least 10 minutes, adding the salt at this point.
- If you don't have a mixer you can knead the dough by hand.
- Make sure it stays fairly moist as this will help it to rise.
- You can check when it is kneaded enough by doing the 'window test' (as shown in the video).
- When well kneaded, cover the bowl and leave to rise for an hour or so in a warm place where it should double in size.
- Tip the dough carefully onto a floured work surface and gently divide into balls of 40 - 50g in weight, using a digital scale to measure this quite accurately (if possible).
- Roll each ball in the palm of your hand and pull the sides down tucking the seam underneath.
- Use a pair of scissors to snip the balls of dough in a criss-cross fashion across the top or you can use a credit card (as shown in the video).
- Pull each section out from the centre point to form a rough petal.
- Once finished, each ball should look like a little flower.
- Alternatively, you can leave as round rolls.
- Put the dough flowers (or rolls) spaced apart on an oiled baking tray.
- Cover and leave for 30 -40 minutes in a warm place.
- Preheat the oven to 220c (425f), Gas Mark 7.
- If using an Aga, prepare the roasting oven.
- Bake the marigold bread rolls in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Finish by brushing with olive oil and sprinkling on more marigold petals.
- The rolls are nice served warm or, once cooled, can be frozen until needed.
