Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Warm the milk in a saucepan to lukewarm (approx. 37 °C). Raik's tip: check with your little finger. Remove milk from the stove. Crumble yeast into it and dissolve it while stirring. Mix flour, 1 1⁄2 TL salt and sugar in a mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Punch a depression in it. Put butter in flakes and egg on the flour rim. Pour yeast milk into the hollow. Raik's tip: Do not put fat directly into the yeast milk, otherwise the yeast dough will not rise as well.

3. 3

   Knead everything into a compact dumpling with the dough hooks of the mixer. When it separates from the bowl wall, place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and continue kneading for 3-5 minutes until the dough looks loose and smooth.

4. 4

   Put the dough back into the bowl, dust with a little flour, cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until the dough has approximately doubled in volume. Raik's tip: If you press a hollow into the leavened dough with your finger and it immediately recedes again, then it is pointed.

5. 5

   In the meantime peel and finely dice the onion. Peel garlic and chop finely. Chop tomatoes finely. Drain olives and chop finely. Wash rosemary, shake dry, remove needles and chop finely.

6. 6

   Heat the oil in a pan. Sauté onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes and olives, stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool down lukewarm.

7. 7

   Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line baking tray with baking paper. Briefly knead the yeast dough on a lightly floured work surface again, kneading the tomato and olive mixture (see

8. 8

   Step 1). Form the dough into a strand (approx. 10 x 50 cm). Cut the strand into 10-12 rolls with a dough card or a damp knife (see step 2). Spread the rolls on the baking tray, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes.

9. 9

   Sprinkle each with some sea salt and bake in a hot oven for 12-15 minutes. Mmh... how sweet it smells!.
