I learned this recipe from a French baker, and now it's my favorite!

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier with good fats.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Honey adds natural sweetness.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: instant yeast

Sourdough adds depth of flavor.

Combine 300 ml lukewarm milk, 5 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp instant yeast in a bowl.

Add 2 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 tsp salt, 1 egg, and 1 egg white to the mixture.

Add 550g flour and mix, then add 100g flour as needed.

Grease the bowl and cover the dough, leaving it in a warm place until it doubles in size.

Divide the dough into 2 parts and cover, letting it rest for 15 minutes.

Wrap the dough and freeze for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 9 parts and cover, letting it rise for 30 minutes.

Prepare a mixture of 1 tsp butter, 2 tsp sugar, and 3 tsp flour.

Bake in a preheated oven at 340F (170C) for 40 minutes.
