Instructions

1. Warm the milk slightly and dissolve the yeast in it with a spoonful of sugar. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, remaining sugar and salt.
3. Add the egg, vanilla and the milk-yeast mixture, then knead for 5 minutes.
4. Incorporate the soft butter in small pieces and knead for another 5 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
6. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small ball, smoothing the surface.
7. Place the balls on a tray, spaced apart, cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Brush them with egg yolk and bake at 180 °C for 12 to 15 minutes, until nicely golden.
