   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

   Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
