Ingredients:
- 325g (2 5/8 cups) all-purpose flour

- 30g (2 tablespoons) sugar
- 2g (1 teaspoon) salt
- 7g dry yeast
- 1 egg
- 25g (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
Method:
- Begin by whisking together warm milk, sugar, eggs, and yeast in a bowl, creating a foamy mixture that sets the foundation for the dough’s delicate texture.
- In a separate bowl, combine salt with all-purpose flour, introducing a subtle balance to the sweetness. Gradually add this flour mixture to the liquid ingredients, creating a cohesive dough.
- Knead the dough until it reaches a smooth consistency, and then let it rest for 10 minutes. This short pause allows the ingredients to meld, enhancing the overall softness of the bread.
- Introduce a luscious element by kneading soft butter into the dough. This addition not only enriches the flavor but also contributes to the pillowy texture that defines our unique twist.
- Set the dough aside for 30 minutes, allowing it to rise and develop its distinct character. Once ready, divide the dough into individual portions and roll each one, shaping them into delightful cigars.
- Place the rolled dough on a parchment-covered baking sheet and set aside for an additional hour. Before baking, brush the rolls with an egg wash, providing a golden finish that hints at the heavenly experience to come.
