1. Activate the Yeast
In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. Prepare the Dough
Add to the yeast mixture:
- Egg
- Melted butter
- Salt
Mix well. Gradually add the flour while mixing until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.
Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
Cover it with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
5. Shape the Bread
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6–8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball and arrange them in a round greased skillet or baking pan forming a ring.
6. Second Rise
Cover again and let the dough rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
7. Bake the Bread
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the top becomes golden brown.
8. Add Butter and Serve
Remove from the oven and place a small cube of butter in the center so it melts over the bread.
Serve warm and pull apart each piece. Perfect with honey, jam, or cheese. 😋
✅ Tip: Brush the top with melted butter right after baking for extra shine and softness.
