This is a “new” recipe It is a bit different from the one I used before as it doesnt use bread starter. One issue is still the sugar (I think) I use orange juice and that is not as sweet as Mosto.
Ingredients
250ml orange juice
125ml olive oil
62.5g sugar (next time use 100gr)
14g dry baker’s yeast (1 sacket)
2 medium eggs (reserve 1/2 for brushing)
1 pinch of salt
500g strong flour (>12gr protein) (maybe a bit more next time)
Process:
- Warm up a bit the orange juice. Dont boil it. You should put a finger without burning
- Mix in a bowl the orange juice, yeast, oil, sugar and eggs.
- Add the flour bit by bit. And the salt, It will be sticky
- Knead the dough by hand until smooth. Mine was sticker than the video and took me a while until it became that shiny.
- Put it in a bowl and let it rest until double in size
- Then divide the dough. I made pieces of 190gr aprox. Then pinch them to form a ball and shape them.
- Let is rest until double is size
- Pre-heat oven at 180C
- Before baking, brush them with a mixed egg and add a pinch of sugar on top.
- Bake until golden (20m or more)
Just before getting into the oven
After baking
The ones from my hometown are more spongy, mine are a bit too dense.
The color and share were good (still far from the real ones) and the taste as well was not close to it. Still you can enjoye them with a nice hot chocolate 🙂
