I don't know if it's really Spanish, but the olive oil used in its preparation gives it a special aroma and texture. It was appreciated by everyone who tasted it, I really recommend you try it, especially since it is made quickly and easily.

Step by step

Step 1

In a bowl pour hot water, add sugar and yeast, mix well and leave for 15 minutes, until foamy.

Step 2

After this time add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and salt, mix.

Step 3

Put the flour and mix with a spoon or spatula.

Step 4

Remove the dough that forms on the table and knead it for about 5 minutes with your hands.

Step 5

Put it in a bowl, cover with a towel and let it rest for 40-50 minutes.

Step 6

After this time, divide the dough into 2 equal pieces.

Step 7

Spread each piece of dough in a rectangular sheet and grease them with olive oil.

Step 8

Roll the sheet and gently grasp the edges.

Step 9

Put the rolls thus formed in an oven tray and with a knife make 2 cuts in the middle - as in the picture.

Step 10

Cover the loaves with a towel and let rise for 30-40 minutes at room temperature.

Step 11

Then bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees - until they make a nice crust and brown.

Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.

Step 12

I did the first tasting when they were hot, I greased them with a little fresh olive oil and I sprinkled a little salt - delicious!

Very soft and cold, even the 2nd and 3rd day - one of the compliments was something like - "as if bought" so soft and tender it is. Sofia told me to make her more Spanish Bread, because it's good :)

Good appetite!
