Instructions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk and let it rest for five minutes.
  2. Mix the flour and salt, then add the milky mixture, the egg and the melted butter.
  3. Knead for ten minutes until you have a smooth dough that no longer sticks to your fingers.
  4. Cover and let it rise for an hour, until doubled in size.
  5. Divide the dough into eight even balls, then shape them into taut little rolls.
  6. Place them on a tray, spaced apart, and let them rise again for twenty minutes.
  7. Brush with egg yolk if you like, then bake at 210 °C for twenty to twenty-two minutes, until a nice golden colour.
  8. Let them cool slightly on a rack before serving.

Variations and tips

Yoghurt version. Replace half the milk with plain yoghurt for an even softer crumb.
