Ingredients:
- 1 packet dry yeast (10g)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 cup warm water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 to 5.5 cups flour
- Soft butter for layering
- White cheese or cheddar cheese for filling
- 1 egg yolk for glazing
- 1 heaped tsp molasses (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix the yeast, sugar, warm milk, warm water, and oil. Gradually add 5 cups of flour, adjusting as needed to create a soft, non-sticky dough. Finally, knead with 1 tbsp of oil. Cover and let it rise for 40-45 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 16 equal parts. Roll each into a ball and spread a teaspoon of soft butter on top. Take one ball, flatten it to the size of a dessert plate. Stack four flattened balls to form a tower. Repeat to make 4 towers in total.
- Refrigerate these towers for 25-30 minutes.
- Roll out each tower, fold the edges inward, and cut into 4 or 5 pieces. Place cheese in the center, seal, and shape into rolls.
- Brush with egg yolk, optionally mixed with molasses, and make diagonal incisions on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C until golden brown, without letting them rise in the tray.
