Basil Rolls "panini al basilico"

How to make Basil Rolls Recipe "panini al basilico" - Preparation time: 10 minutes – Cooking time: 15 minutes – Rising time: 1 hour 10 minutes

10 Servings

Ingredients:
8 cups (1 kg) soft wheat flour
25 basil leaves, torn into small shreds
2 1/2 cups (600 ml) lukewarm water
2 2/3 tbsp. (25 g) fresh yeast, crumbled
1/2 stick (50 g) butter, softened
1 tbsp. (18 g) salt

Method:
Mix the basil leaves into the flour. Put the flour and basil onto a clean work surface and make a well in the center.

Dissolve the yeast in the water and pour the yeast mixture into the well. Gradually start incorporating the yeast mixture into the flour until a loose dough starts to form, then add the butter and the salt. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes, then form it into small balls, each weighing about 1 3/4 ounces (50 g).

Arrange them, floured and properly spaced, on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and let them rise, covered with plastic wrap, for about 1 hour until they have doubled in size. Bake in the oven at 350-375°F (180-190°C) for about 15 minutes.

Did you know that...
Basil has been well known since antiquity, not only for its aroma, but also for its medicinal properties. Pliny the Elder, for example, recommended it as an antidepressant for its power to “expel melancholic vapors from the heart.”
