  8. Shape each piece into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake the dough balls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Why It Works
  • The warm water helps to activate the yeast, which will cause the dough to rise.
  • The olive oil adds flavor and richness to the dough.
  • Kneading the dough for 5 minutes develops the gluten, which will make the dough chewy and elastic.
  • Letting the dough rise for 1 hour allows the yeast to work its magic, which will make the dough light and fluffy.
  • Baking the dough balls at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes will result in a golden brown crust.
  • Drizzling the dough balls with honey adds a touch of sweetness and makes them irresistible.
