Ingredients

The Dough

300 g All-Purpose Flour (or Bread Flour)
2.5 tbsp Sugar
180 g Whole Milk, warm
6 g Dry Yeast
1/2 tsp Salt
25 g Unsalted Butter, softened at room temperature

Egg Wash

1 Egg, beaten
some Whole Milk (adjustable)

Instructions

In a measuring cup, mix together the Warm Whole Milk and the Dry Yeast. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, add in the All-purpose Flour and Sugar. Gradually add in the Milk Mixture. Use a spatula to slightly mix the mixture together.
Then add in the Salt. Gently mix again.
Use a stand mixer, mix on low speed until the dough comes together for about 2-3 minutes. (If you do not use a stand mixer, you can knead the dough with your hands for around 10 minutes.)
Stretch the dough with your hands a little bit and spread the softened unsalted Butter on top.
Start the mixer and mix the dough again on low speed for about 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
Take out the dough and shape it into a ball.
Lightly Oil a mixing bowl. Put the dough in the bowl and slightly Oil the top of the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 2 hours. The dough will double in size.
Dust your countertop with a little bit of flour. Place the dough on the flour and divide it into 8 equal pieces, shaping them into balls.
Line a 19 cm x 28 cm baking dish with parchment paper. Place the balls on the paper, leaving a little space between them. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to let it rise for another 30-45 minutes. They should be touching now!
Brush the tops with Egg Wash and bake in a preheated oven at 150C (300 F) for 20-22 minutes until tops are golden brown. The sides will be golden yellow at the top and light yellow on the bottom. Perfect!
Let cool on a rack for a few minutes. Ready to enjoy!
