Introduce the recipe and ingredients, mentioning the use of bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.

Activate the yeast by mixing it with a bit of sugar and warm water, then cover it to let it froth.

Mix sugar and salt in a bowl and grate in half of a whole nutmeg.

Prepare wet ingredients by making a hole in the flour and adding eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, then mix until fully incorporated.

Add the activated yeast mixture to the flour and mix everything together.

Gradually add warm water while mixing until the desired dough consistency is achieved.

Knead the dough using a hand mixer for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes soft and stretchy, or use your hands.

Rest the dough for a little while while preparing the baking tin with non-stick paper and oiling it.

Cut the dough into desired shapes and roll it out to form a square for rolling up, pinching the edges together.

Shape the dough into rolls or any desired shape and place them in the prepared tin, then cover with cling film and a clean cloth to rise until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and bake the bread for about 35 minutes.

Once baked, brush the top with butter for a soft crust.
