Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk, then let rest 5 minutes.
  2. Add the flour, salt and olive oil, then knead for 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
  3. Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in size.
  4. Knock back the dough, divide it into 8 pieces, then shape each into a small elongated ball.
  5. Arrange the loaves on a tray, cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Mix the egg yolk and milk, then brush over the loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like.
  7. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until well golden and they sound hollow. Let cool on a rack.

Variations and tips

Sweet version. Add 30 g of sugar and 40 g of soft butter to the dough for a more tender crumb.

With what's available here. Fresh yeast can be replaced with 4 g of instant dried yeast, mixed directly into the flour.
