INGREDIENTS:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 egg yolk (for coating)

2 1\/4 teaspoons (1 packet) dry yeast

INSTRUCTIONS:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation of Yeast Mix
Heat 2 cups of water to 110\u00b0F (43\u00b0C) \u2013 it should be warm to the touch but not boiling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar and yeast. Stir until the mixture turns into powder and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes.
Mixing the dough
Add 2 eggs to the yeast mixture and mix well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix bread flour and salt in a separate bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon or using the dough hook of the mixer. Mix until a dough forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kneading the dough
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 8-10 minutes until it becomes soft and smooth. If using a stand mixer, beat the flour on medium speed for 5-7 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First proof
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shape the rolls.
Flatten the dough to remove air. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Form each piece into a ball by pulling the edges towards the center and squeezing them together. Then roll the dough with your hands on the counter and turn it into a smooth ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the rolls on baking paper, leaving space between each roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second proof
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until slightly risen.
Preheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 220\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare for cooking
Beat the egg yolks with a spoon of water in a small bowl.
Brush the top of each bun with the egg yolk mixture to create a beautiful finish.
Baking the rolls
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and soundless when touched.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
