Almond milk is a dairy-free option that adds flavor.

Add 60 grams of melted butter to 200 grams of warm milk and mix together.

Crack in 1 egg and mix all of that together.

Set a bowl over a scale and add in 400 grams of flour, 6 grams of yeast, and 8 grams of salt.

Dump in the wet ingredients and mix everything together into a shaggy dough for 2-3 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes until it forms a smooth dough ball.

Let the dough rise for 90 minutes until roughly doubled in size.

Separate the dough into nine roughly 80 gram portions.

Thin out a portion of the dough and press it with a circular item to create an indentation.

Fill the indentation with jam.
