• 7 g fresh yeast
• ⅜ tbsp sugar
• 62½ g flour
• ⅓ eggs
• 12½ g unsalted butter
• salt

• stand mixer with dough hook
• whisk
• kitchen towel

Add milk to the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook. Crumble the yeast, then add sugar and mix with a whisk to dissolve. Add flour, eggs, butter, and a pinch of salt to the same bowl. Mix until a dough forms. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for approx. 20 min.

Step 2/3

• butter (for greasing)

• baking dish

Grease a baking dish with butter and dust it with sugar. On a floured work surface, knead the dough into two logs. Cut each log into 6 pieces so there are 12 pieces in total. Use your hands to form each piece into a ball and transfer to a baking dish. Cover with a towel and let rest for at least 30 min.

• oven
• pastry brush

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350°F. Brush the sweet rolls with remaining melted butter. Transfer to oven and bake for approx. 25 min. Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve with vanilla sauce. Enjoy!
