Bollos de Aceituna are delightful Spanish olive rolls, perfect for a late-night snack or appetizer. These soft, savory buns are infused with the rich flavors of olives and herbs, making them a satisfying vegan treat.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Warm water - 120 milliliters
• Olive oil - 30 milliliters
• Black olives, pitted and chopped - 100 grams
• Fresh rosemary, chopped - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - ½ teaspoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, garlic powder, and chopped rosemary.
3. Add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Incorporate the chopped olives into the dough, kneading gently to distribute evenly.
6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
8. Once the dough has risen, punch it down, and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
10. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
