pan de sal i

Ingredients

• Servings: 20
• 2 cups warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c)
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 6 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe

• put the warm water in a small mixing bowl and add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar; stir to dissolve. let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• in a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 15 teaspoons of sugar and the oil and mix until smooth. add the salt, 1 cup of flour and the yeast mixture; stir well. add the remaining 5 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• turn the dough a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, supple and elastic; about 10 minutes. lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in it and turn to coat the dough with oil. cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
• turn the dough a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equal pieces. form each piece into a cylinder and roll out until the 'log' is 1/2 inch in diameter. using a sharp knife, cut each 'log' into 1/2 inch pieces. place the pieces, flat side down, two lightly greased baking sheets. gently press each roll down to flatten.
• preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• bake at 375 degrees f (190 degrees c) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
