How to make Milk Bread
- Step 1
Place the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the warm milk, sugar, yeast, and softened butter into the well.
- Step 2
Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture and knead until you obtain a smooth dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. If necessary, use a little more flour.
- Step 3
Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a cloth and let it rest until it doubles in size.
- Step 4
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 50-gram pieces. Shape each piece into an elongated form with rounded ends.
- Step 5
Brush the surface of the rolls with water and beaten egg.
- Step 6
Let the rolls rise again in a warm place until they double in size.
- Step 7
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 220°C (430°F) for 20 minutes. Once out of the oven, brush them with milk to give them a shiny finish.
- Step 8
If desired, decorate the rolls by making a circle with pastry cream and sprinkling a little sugar on top. Bake in a low oven for an additional 5 minutes.
