Knead the dough for about 6-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, covered with a cloth.

Roll each piece in bread crumbs and place on a greased baking pan.

Let rise again for about 1.5 to 2 hours until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 980°C (approximately 1800°F).
