Rēwana Bacon & Cheese Rolls
Naturally leavened rolls with diced bacon and grated cheese.
Ingredients
- 155 g active Rēwana starter
- 400 g strong white baker’s flour
- 250 g cool to room-temperature water
- 8 g salt
- 5 g olive or neutral oil
- 100 g diced bacon
- 100 g grated cheese
Method
- Mix the starter, water and flour until combined. Rest for 30 minutes.
- Mix in the salt and oil. Do two sets of stretch and folds, 30 minutes apart.
- Cover and bulk ferment around 25°C for 3–5 hours, or until the dough grows by roughly 50–70%.
- Divide into six equal portions and shape into balls. Place together in a lightly greased tray, make a dimple in each and add the diced bacon and grated cheese.
- Cover and proof at around 25°C for 1½–2 hours, until puffy.
- Bake at 200°C for 18–22 minutes until golden on top and the rolls reach 95°C internally. Cool on a wire rack for 15–20 minutes.
