  • 1 tsp salt
  • 30g (2 tbsp) sugar
  • 6g (2 tsp) instant yeast)

For Brushing:

  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk (egg wash)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dough
    In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.Gradually add the warm milk and egg, combining to form a shaggy dough.Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-7 minutes using a stand mixer until it’s smooth and elastic.Incorporate the softened butter into the dough and continue kneading until fully absorbed.Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Divide and Shape
    Once risen, punch down the dough to release air and divide it into 4-5 equal portions.Roll each portion into an oval shape using a rolling pin.Make thin slits halfway across each oval using a knife or dough scraper, mimicking wool strands.Spread your chosen filling (e.g., butter, Nutella, or jam) on the unslit portion, then roll up the dough tightly from the filled side.
  • Assemble
    Arrange the rolled dough pieces in a greased round baking pan, starting from the edges and working inward.Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it proof for another 30-40 minutes until puffy.
  • Bake
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).Brush the dough with egg wash for a golden finish.Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is beautifully golden brown.Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
