How to make Pebete Bread

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Cover the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the dough into nine equal portions and shape them into small balls. Let them rise for another 10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Punch down the dough to remove air bubbles and shape the rolls into their final oval form.

  6. Step 6

    Place the rolls on a baking tray and let them rise again for another 10 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Bake in a preheated oven at a low temperature (about 160°C/320°F) for 15 to 20 minutes.

  8. Step 8

    If desired, brush the rolls with beaten egg before baking to give them a shiny finish.
