Dough Preparation:

  • Let rise in a warm place until doubled (1–1.5 hours).

Shaping & Baking:

  • Divide dough into 8–10 balls and arrange in a greased pan.
  • Let rise again for 30–40 minutes.
  • Brush with egg wash and bake at 350°F/175°C for 20–25 minutes.

Notes

  • Storage: Freeze slices for up to 3 months.
  • Flavor Twist: Add chocolate chips or cinnamon sugar for extra sweetness.
