In a traditional Portuguese home, you will have a papo secos with
practically every meal. Also known as just a "pop" for short. These
rolls have a nice crusty outside, and are soft and chewy on the
inside. Perfect for dunking in soup!
1 Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of the lukewarm water with 2 tsp sugar
added. Let stand for 5 minutes.
2 Place yeast mixture in large bowl, add 1 cup flour and mix to make a
batter. Cover with a wet cloth and blanket (or place in the oven with
light turned on) and let sit for about an hour, or until doubled in
size.
3 Pull out the sticky dough and add in your remaining ingredients.
Mix well. Then, on a well floured surface, hand-knead for 10 to 12
minutes, or until smooth.
4 Gather in to a ball and place into a lightly greased bowl. Cover
again the wet cloth and blanket (or place in the oven with light
turned on) for an hour or until doubled in size.
5 Punch down and then break off 12 portions of dough (about 1/2 cup
sized each). On a floured surface, roll each portion into a smooth
ball. Press down each piece with palm of your hand. Then make a
crease in the middle with the side of your hand and fold together.
Pinch the ends of dough together. Sprinkle with flour.
6 Place each portion on a cloth, crease down. Cover and let sit in a
warm, dry place for about 45 minutes.
7 Pre-heat oven to 500F. Place rolls (crease up!) on a lightly
greased and floured baking sheet and bake for 10 - 15 minutes.
