Ingredients for the Dough:

  • 250ml lukewarm milk
  • ½ cube fresh yeast
  • 50g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 60g softened butter
  • 500g flour

Ingredients for the Pudding Filling:

  • 600ml milk

For Brushing:

For the Glaze:

  • 100g powdered sugar

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in lukewarm milk. Add the sugar, egg, softened butter, and flour. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Vanilla Pudding:
    In a saucepan, combine 600ml of milk, cornstarch, sugar, and vanilla essence. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the pudding thickens. Remove from heat and whisk in the egg yolk. Set aside to cool.
  3. Shape the Rolls:
    Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1 cm thick. Spread the cooled pudding evenly over the dough. Roll the dough into a log and slice it into 2 cm thick rounds.

    Place the rolls in a greased baking tin. Let them rise for an additional 20 minutes.
  5. Bake:
    Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Brush the rolls with a mixture of egg yolk and milk. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Glaze and Serve:
