Instructions

In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water with the sugar, then leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Add the flour, salt, milk powder and soft butter, then knead for 10 minutes until you have a stretchy dough.
Cover and let it rise for 1 hour somewhere warm, until doubled in size.
Knock back the dough, divide it into 6 equal pieces and shape them into neat balls.
Flatten each ball lightly with your palm and place them on a floured tray, a few centimetres apart.
Let them rise for another 30 minutes, then dust them with flour using a fine sieve.
Preheat the oven to 220 °C (gas mark 7-8) and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and pale on top.
Let them cool slightly on a rack and serve filled with grilled bacon or cheese.
