Step by step recipe

1	If possible, toast 150 g peanuts: put them on a baking sheet in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes. This is not essential, but brings out their full flavour. Leave to cool, then chop coarsely with a knife.
2	Put into a food-processor bowl: 250 g flour, 125 g water, 4.5 g salt, 10 g yeast, 100 g leaven (optional) and 125 g peanut butter.
3	Knead on low speed for 8 minutes. Note: For the best way to knead, see: A few tips for effective kneading at home.
4	Add the chopped peanuts and knead for a further minute or two until mixed in.
5	Gather the dough into a ball, transfer to a large clean bowl and cover with a plastic sheet. Leave to rest for 1 hour.
6	After this, cut the dough into 100 g lumps.
7	Roll into balls, cover with a plastic sheet and leave to rest for 20 minutes.
8	Flatten the balls, then reshape. Arrange on a baking sheet and cover with a plastic sheet.
9	Leave to rise for 1 hour 30 minutes.
10	Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Moisten the tops of the rolls with a little water and bake for about 10 minutes.

Remarks

Chop the peanuts according to whether you prefer larger or smaller pieces.
