Today I am sharing with you a very simple recipe for bread: Olive Oil Snail Bread Rolls. I love baking bread. It’s actually one of the things I like to do the most.

There is nothing more comforting than the smell of bread baking in the oven. It spreads throughout the whole house and it just makes me hungry! In fact, I can’t wait for the bread to be ready, so I can dig into it!

So you won’t be surprised to know that one of the things I really love about today’s recipe is that these Olive Oil Snail Bread Rolls are even better when eaten warm, straight out of the oven! They are slightly crunchy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. Yes, they have the perfect crumb!

Their subtle olive oil taste takes me back to my summers in Sicily when my grandmother would make me some freshly baked slices of warm bread topped with a drizzle of local extra virgin olive oil as an afternoon snack. The best treat ever!

These Olive Oil Snail Bread Rolls have oil in the dough and believe it or not, this is actually quite common in many areas of Italy. Don’t forget to scroll down to check my video recipe.

200 ml – ¾ cup + 2 tbsp water lukewarm
1 tsp granulated sugar
4 gms – 1 tsp yeast
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water. Mix well and let it activate for 5 minutes or until frothy.

Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll them into 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick strips.
Roll them on themselves to make snails. Put on a baking tray covered with baking paper and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
