Mix yeast, sugar, and 20 ml milk. Let sit for 10 minutes to activate. 2. Combine both flours and salt. Add the remaining milk and activated yeast mixture. 3. Gradually add water — only until the dough comes together (avoid making it too soft). 4. Once dough forms, add butter and knead until smooth and elastic. 5. Rest for 30 minutes. 6. Deflate, knead lightly, and divide into 8–10 pieces. 7. Shape each piece into a teardrop form and roll out with a rolling pin. 8. Add a little cheese or butter, roll tightly, stretch the tip slightly and seal. 9. Place on a baking tray with spacing and rest for 45–60 minutes. 10. Brush with egg-yogurt wash, sprinkle coarse salt. 11. Bake at 190°C (374°F) for 30–35 minutes until golden. 12. Enjoy warm — they are incredibly soft and buttery inside 😍 ___ 💛 If this bread made you crave fresh homemade rolls, don’t forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & SHARE this recipe!
