Ingredients

• 500 grams Whole wheat flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 350 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 10 grams Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 50 grams Black olives, pitted and chopped
• 50 grams Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and instant yeast.

Step 2

In another bowl or a measuring jug, mix warm water, olive oil, and honey until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the liquid mixture to the flour and yeast, stirring with a wooden spoon or a dough whisk until the dough starts to come together.

Step 4

Add the salt, rosemary, thyme, black olives, and sun-dried tomatoes to the dough and continue mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Once risen, punch down the dough to release air bubbles, and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 8

Shape each portion into a small oval roll similar to mini-baguettes by rolling and gently stretching the dough.

Step 9

Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover them with a damp cloth, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) while the rolls are on their second rise.

Step 11

Before baking, lightly score the tops of the rolls with a sharp knife.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
