Add the cooled flour paste and mix through. 3 Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 10–15 minutes until smooth. Put the dough into a greased bowl, cover with clingwrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour. 4 Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape into balls. Arrange the balls in a greased cast-iron pot, then cover with clingwrap and allow to rise for a further 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the rolls for 15 minutes. 5 While the rolls are baking, make a sugar syrup by simmering the sugar and water in a saucepan for 5 minutes, or until syrupy. Once the rolls are baked, remove from the oven and brush the top with syrup. Serve warm. FAT-CONSCIOUS, MEAT-FREE
