Please the whole family with this delicious, fresh Dough Balls recipe, made with Allinson olive oil dough. Great as a starter or a snack, we like to make a double batch of these as they tend to disappear in a flash. They make a great starter for our Deep Pan Pizza, also made with Allinson olive oil dough.
Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a big bowl. Mix the water and oil together, then stir in with a cutlery knife.
Step 2:
KNEAD
Tip onto a lightly flour dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes (or use the dough hook attachment on your mixer).
Step 3:
RISE
Lightly grease the mixing bowl with some oil. Put the dough back in, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size – about 1 hour depending on how warm your kitchen is.
Step 4:
SHAPE
Knock back the dough by gently kneading just 5 times to get the air out. Cut into 40 pieces (weigh out if you like), shape into balls and sit slightly spaced apart on lightly floured baking sheets.
Step 5:
PROVE
Cover the dough again with clean tea towels and leave to prove until doubled in size again. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan, gas mark 6). Meanwhile mash together the butter, garlic and herbs with some seasoning.
Step 6:
BAKE Bake for 5-8 minutes, until golden and when you tap the bottoms of the dough balls they sound hollow. Cool for 10 minutes, then eat with the garlic butter.

Love these .. and the garlic butter 👌🏼 I also had to leave in the oven longer but this I feel is because I made them a little bigger so out of this recipe I made around 30 dough balls.

Tried them the way showed and hay they turned out lovely. Will be making them in future.

They were soft and light although we had to put them in for longer as they were still raw in the middle but overall they were very yummy 😋
