**Delfinas Joghurtbrötchen**
**Ingredients:**
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 1/4 cup warm water
– 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Egg wash (1 beaten egg with a splash of water)
– Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flaky sea salt
**Instructions:**
1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, Greek yogurt, and olive oil.
3. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a rough dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
8. Cover the rolls with the damp kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
9. Brush the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle your choice of optional toppings.
10. Bake the Delfinas Joghurtbrötchen in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
11. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, cheese, or any other toppings you love.
These Delfinas Joghurtbrötchen are a delightful treat that will fill your home with the aroma of freshly baked bread and bring a smile to everyone at your table.
