How to make Pebete Bread
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the yeast, butter, warm milk, sugar, and about five tablespoons of flour. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Step 2
Gradually add the remaining flour along with the salt, mixing until you form a dough that doesn’t stick to your fingers but remains soft.
- Step 3
Cover the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size.
- Step 4
Divide the dough into nine equal portions and shape them into small balls. Let them rise for another 10 minutes.
- Step 5
Punch down the dough to remove air bubbles and shape the rolls into their final oval form.
- Step 6
Place the rolls on a baking tray and let them rise again for another 10 minutes.
- Step 7
Bake in a preheated oven at a low temperature (about 160°C/320°F) for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Step 8
If desired, brush the rolls with beaten egg before baking to give them a shiny finish.
