Make a crown with the flour on the countertop.

Add sugar in the center of the crown.

Sprinkle 5g of dry yeast in the center.

Add 1 teaspoon of fine salt around the edge of the crown, avoiding contact with the yeast.

Pour warm milk into the center of the crown.

Integrate the ingredients starting from the center, pulling flour from the edges.

Form a wet dough by mixing well.

Flatten the dough slightly with fingers and add 30g of softened butter.

Integrate the butter into the dough, which will initially seem sticky.

Use a bench scraper to help incorporate the butter by slapping the dough against the countertop.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rest on the countertop until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes in warm weather or up to 1 hour in cooler conditions.

Cover the dough with a bowl while it rises.

Once risen, punch down the dough to release gas.

Divide the dough into approximately 12 equal pieces, each about 60-62g.

Shape each piece into a ball and let them rest on the countertop, covered to prevent drying.

Grease a baking tray with oil.

Flatten each dough ball into a rectangular shape using hands or a rolling pin.

Roll each piece tightly and pinch the seams closed, ensuring the seam is on the bottom.

Place the shaped rolls on the greased baking tray with about 1 cm spacing between them.

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel to let them rise until doubled in size.

Once risen, brush the tops with warm milk instead of egg wash.

Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) for 10 minutes before baking.

Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
