Semmel Bread (Bread Machine Recipe)

1. 1

   Dissolve the yeast with the warm milk and a level teaspoon of sugar.

2. 2

   Place the milk and the olive oil in the bread machine bowl and add the flour and the salt on top.

3. 3

   Set the bread machine to the kneading function (approximately 1.5 hours).

4. 4

   During the first 10 minutes, check the dough (If it is too firm, add a few tablespoons of milk. If it is too soft, add some flour) and scrape down the bowl with a wooden spoon. The dough should be elastic, smooth and soft in consistency.

5. 5

   Once the dough is ready, shape it into 5 or 6 balls, each weighing approximately 150 grams. Make incisions in the rolls with a sharp knife.

6. 6

   Place the rolls on a floured baking sheet and place the sheet in a cold oven.

7. 7

   Turn the oven on for 1 minute and turn it off. Leave the rolls in the oven for 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Without opening the oven door, turn the oven on to 200C and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. (If the bread begins to brown too much, cover with a sheet of aluminum foil or wax paper.)

9. 9

   Remove the bread from the oven and let cool.
