Papo-Secos ~ Portuguese Rolls

These rolls are super easy to whip up and they’re great for any meal. Whether you’re having them for breakfast or as a side dish, these homemade rolls will not disappoint!

Papo-Secos - Portuguese Rolls ### Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 beaten egg (for egg wash)

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it’s foamy.
Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture, then gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once it’s risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and brush each roll with the beaten egg for that beautiful golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy your fresh, homemade Papo-Secos!

Once you take that first bite, you’ll understand why these little rolls hold a special place in the hearts of many. Serve them warm, perhaps with a nice spread of butter, or use them to create mouthwatering sandwiches. Enjoy the baking ritual and get ready to share some love with your friends and family!
