    200 g warm water, ½ tbsp active dry yeast
  • Add flour, salt, sugar, olive oil and mix.
    315 g flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Place onto your table and knead for 5-10 minutes until a smooth dough ball has been formed.
  • Place in a bowl, brush the top of the dough with olive oil, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Punch out the air, and separate into 20g pieces. Roll them into tight balls, using your fingers to create surface tension. It should create about 25-30 balls.
  • Place the doughballs on a baking tray and proof for 30 minutes covered.
  • In a pan over medium heat, pour over a layer of olive oil, enough to cover the entire pan but not so much that you are deep frying. About 1 cm of oil will be enough.
    ⅓ cup olive oil
  • Lay down your doughballs, one at a time into the pan and cook until both sides are golden brown. Will take about 5 minutes each side.
  • Immediately brush with garlic butter, salt, parmesan cheese, and parsley.
