In a bowl, add in warm milk and sugar. Give it a few stir. Add in dry yeast and stir again. Leave until the yeast gets foamy, around 3-5 minutes.

In a standing bowl mixer, add bread flour, granulated sugar, salt, egg yolks, melted butter and previously prepared yeast mixture. Mix to incorporate everything and knead for 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Coat the dough with oil to prevent crust forming on its surface. Cover tightly with cling film and leave to rise until double in size, in a warm and draft free place.

After doubled in size, form the dough into a log and place it on a working surface. Cut the dough into 8-9 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball and place them in a buttered 9 inch (23 cm) round pan. Cover the pan with cling film and leave the balls to rise until almost double in size.

After almost doubled in size, bake them at 190ºC (375ºF) in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the oven and immediately brush them with some melted butter.
