recipe :

Knead the ingredients to form a dough and put the dough in a large stainless steel or in a large glass bowl and cover with a large plate . (The dough will maximize its size at least 4 times) Every 2 hours, knead the dough to remove the air and leave it again to relax . After about 6 hours, I let the dough rest , covered at room temperature on the kitchen counter , I heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius in the program for bread .  I separate the dough into four pieces and form 4 breads-see photo- , each one needs half an hour baking time on the lower rack. Before baking Ι coat the breads with a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds , oregano , sea salt -see last photo- .Then bake 2 breads together onto parchment paper in the preheated oven on the last rack of the oven .

Buns with garlic

image
Fluffy and delicious, flavoured with garlic, 1 clove garlic, chopped, for 5 rolls. The recipe came out alone , because I was hungry and wanted to eat something at the time and to combine it with tomato and oregano . So, the recipe is approximately three handfuls of all purpose flour, 1 handful whole grain flour with 2-3 tsp. extra virgin olive oil , 1 pinch of salt, 1 pinch of sugar, 8 grams of dry yeast , enough water so that the dough, during kneading, does not stick to our hands and optionally, I add 1 clove of garlic finely chopped and divided to 5 rolls . Let the dough rise for half an hour,and preheat the oven during that time, at 200 degrees Celsius in the program for baking breads. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slash the top of the bun, before I put them on the parchment paper, I laid on my baking pan.
Bake them for about 20 minutes in the middle rack of our preheated oven .
Enjoy your buns with a fresh tomato salad with extra virgin olive oil , balsamic vinegar , oregano and a feta cheese !
Enjoy your homemade bread!
