Ingredients:
150 ml (2/3 cup) warm milk
7 g instant yeast
15 g (1 tbsp) flour (for yeast)
20 g (1 tbsp + 1 tsp) butter, softened
1 egg
15 g (1 tbsp) sugar
330 g (2 5/8 cups) flour
3 g (1/2 tsp) salt
5 g (1 tsp) butter (for greasing)
1 egg yolk (for brushing)
instructions :
In a medium bowl combine warm milk, instant yeast, and sugar. Whisk well, then stir in a tablespoon of flour and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
Add an egg and softened butter and stir until homogeneous.
To the large bowl add sifted flour and salt, then add yeast mixture and start to mix the dough with a spatula. Then continue to knead it with your hands until you receive an elastic dough.
Form a ball from the dough and cover the bowl with a kitchen cloth or plastic wrap, Allow the dough to rise two hours in a warm place.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured working surface and divide it into 5 parts (you need to obtain 2 smaller pieces and 3 bigger ones).
