Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
  2. Add the warm milk, egg and soft butter, then knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour somewhere warm, until doubled in size.
  4. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, shape into small balls, then flatten them slightly into elongated rectangles.
  5. Roll each roll in the breadcrumbs, pressing them in well, then fold it in half, pinching the centre to form a little stick-shaped roll.
  6. Arrange the rolls on a tray, cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Bake at 200 °C for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden. Serve warm.

Variations and tips

Filled version. Put a little cheese or salted butter in the centre of each roll before folding.
