Makes 8 bread bites | Prep 90 minutes
Ingredients
- ½ tbsp yeast
- 125 ml (½ cup) warm water
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 270 g (2 ½ cups) light spelt flour
- ½ tbsp fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
Method
In a large bowl, combine yeast with water, olive oil and salt, and stir well to proof.
After 5 minutes, add half of the flour and the rosemary, and mix well to combine.
Add remaining flour and mix well with your hands.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, adding additional flour as necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough. Dough should not be sticky.
Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. For best results leave for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 180 C.
Divide the dough mixture into eight equal portions and roll into small flat circles about half a centimetre thick. Choose your favourite Stampie to add some Australiana magic to your dough then arrange each bread bite next to each other on a parchment paper-lined tray.
Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until slightly golden.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Delicious served with a bit of butter.
