- [difficulty:: medium]
- [time:: 2h]
Ingredients
- 2 cups of flour
- ½ cup of warm milk
- 1 egg
- 25g of fresh yeast (or 8g of dry yeast)
- 55g melted butter
- 2 flat tablespoons of sugar
- a pinch of salt
Additionally
- 30g of melted butter
- 2–3 tablespoons of sugar
- 2–3 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1 egg for paining the rolls
Preparation
In a small pot put yeast, milk, and sugar; gently warm them on a stove.
To a large bowl add sifted flour, beaten egg, and salt. Mix them together.
Add the yeast mixture to the bowl with flour and work the dough. After a quick mix, add the melted butter and work, until the dough absorbs the butter.
Once the dough is ready, leave it for 40–50 minutes in a warm place. Cover it with a dry cloth.
Forming rolls
Put the dough on a countertop and work it for a moment to remove any gas that might’ve gathered. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, paint it with the melted butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll into a roll and cut it into smaller pieces (width around 1.5cm–2cm).
Lay them on a tray with baking paper and leave them for 20–30 minutes in a warm place.
Next, turn on the oven to 180°C. Paint the rolls with a beaten egg and bake them for 15–20 minutes.
