Ingredients

Units Scale

For Dough

  • 240g bread flour
  • 10g sugar
  • 5g salt
  • 4g instant dry yeast
  • 70g warm water (40°C)
  • 80g cold milk (7°C)
  • 10g softened butter

For filling and finishing

  • 20g butter for each roll
  • Pearl salt or flaky sea salt
  • Extra melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. Add all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. This includes the bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast. Give everything a quick stir so the mixture is even.
  2. Combine the warm water and cold milk in a separate cup.
  3. Pour the milk and water mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until a rough and shaggy dough forms.
  4. Add the melted butter and knead just until the dough comes together into a rough ball. It does not need to be perfectly smooth.
  5. Cover the bowl with cling wrap or a damp tea towel and let the dough rest for 50 minutes. After resting, give the dough a few gentle folds.
  6. Cover and leave it for the first rise. This takes 50 minutes.
  7. Divide the dough into 70g portions. Round each piece, place on a baking sheet, cover and let them rest for 30 minutes.
  8. Pre-shape each dough ball into a cone shape and rest again for 30 minutes.
  9. Lay out a silicone mat and roll the bread into a 40cm long strip. Place the butter at the thicker end and roll tightly
  10. Seal the dough well so the butter stays in the center and place seam side down on a thin, dark baking tray greased with a light layer of butter
  11. Cover with cling wrap or a damp tea towel and proof the shaped rolls for 1 hour and 30 minutes at room temperature.
  12. Lightly mist the tops with water and sprinkle with pearl salt or flaky sea salt.
  13. Bake in a oven preheated to 200°C for 15 minutes or until golden.
  14. Brush the rolls with melted butter while they are still warm.
