For 10 portions

Ingredients

10 g dried yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
100 ml warm milk
100 ml warm water
100 ml oil
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 egg
250 g all-purpose flour (half a package)
1 tablespoon salt

Preparation procedure

Preparing the starter: Into a larger bowl pour in the dried yeast, add the sugar, and pour in the warm milk and water. Mix everything with a whisk and let it sit for a few minutes to activate the yeast.
Mixing the dough: To the activated starter add the oil, plain yogurt and egg. Mix everything well again.
Working the dough: Add the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and work it into a smooth, non-sticky dough. Knead for about 5 minutes. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise for roughly 90 minutes, until it doubles in volume.
Shaping the rolls: Divide the risen dough into 10 equal parts and shape each into a ball. Roll each ball into an oval shape and shape it into a roll.
Second rising: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with a cloth. Let them proof for another 30 minutes.
Baking: Brush the rolls with cold water and bake in a preheated oven at 220 °C for 20 minutes, until nicely golden.
Finishing: After baking, immediately brush with butter and let cool slightly. Then serve.

⏱ Total preparation time: approx. 2.5 hours (including rising)
