Combine sponge ingredients in a horizontal mixer and blend for 2 minutes on your mixer’s first speed and then for 2 minutes on a high speed. Maintain the sponge temperature at 74°F (23°C) and let sponge ferment for 3.5 to 4 hours. The sponge should be returned to a temperature of 84°F (29°C) when ready to use.
Next, blend all ingredients (including sponge) together for 2 minutes of your mixer’s first speed and then for 12 minutes on high, or until fully developed. Maintain the final dough at a consistent temperature of 78°F (26°C).
Scale dough into 1.5 oz (45 g) portions and shape into rolls. Proof for 50 minutes and then place into a preheated tunnel oven set to 370°F (188°C) and bake for 12 minutes, or until golden. Remove and let cool.
The above is a suggestion only.
