Step by Step

1. Mix together the Yeast and Sugar in warm milk
2. Mix the Butter and Eggs in a new bowl and put aside
3. In a bigger Bowl, mix the Flour, salt, and sugar, make a little hole at the middle and add number 1 and 2 mixture. Combine together until soft Dough is formed.
4. Move the Dough to an evenly flour sprinkled surface and knead until it’s smooth and stretchy. This will take like 10 minutes by hand and 7 minutes if you are using a mixer.
5. Put the Dough in a bowl that is lightly oiled; also smear some oil on the surface of the Dough and leave to increase in a warm place for about 1 hour or pending when it doubles in size.
6. Flatten the dough and put on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into sections and form into any shape you preferred. (I made 8 round and 8 baton balls sizes)
7. Put on a lightly greased baking sheet, making sure the rolls are well spread with at least 2 inches apart. Cover the rolls with a moist cloth, and allow to double in size.
8. Beat up the remaining egg and mix with a tablespoon of Water and brush the surface of the Bread rolls. Heat up the oven in 425 degrees and bake for 10-12 minutes or it turns golden brown.
9. Remove the rolls from the baking dish and put in a clean surface. Enjoy when it is cool enough to handle.
