Ingredients

1 kg – plain flour
250 ml oil
600 ml milk
2 cubes of yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons salt
sesame or caraway for sprinkling

Preparation procedure

First of all, we warm 2 deciliters of milk and add a heaped tablespoon of sugar and let it dissolve.
When the sugar has dissolved, we add the two cubes of yeast and leave until a sponge (yeast starter) forms.
Next, we sift the flour into a larger bowl. We add the oil and the remaining milk, the salt, and the sponge.
Then we mix this mixture with our hands to form a dough and let it rise in a warm place.
For example, in the sun outside or in the oven and set it to 30 degrees.
When the dough has risen, we start tearing off individual pieces into smaller pieces and shape them into balls in our hands as you can see in the picture.
There should be approximately 35–40 pieces.
Roll out each ball.
Then roll it into the shape of a roll, exactly as you see in the picture below.
Grease the baking tray with oil and place baking paper on it.
Then lightly oil the surface of the paper where we will place the rolls, but very minimally.
Then leave them to rise for a few more minutes.
We can also brush the rolls with oil or beaten egg.
Then we can, but don't have to, add extra seasoning.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and bake for approx. 10–12 minutes.
When we take them out of the oven, we put a damp cloth over them for a few minutes so they remain moist even the next day.
