🧂 Ingredients

500 grams or 3 ⅓ cups bread flour

(or all-purpose flour)
2 tsp instant yeast
¼ cup sugar

(or ⅓ if you want it on the sweeter side)
1 tsp salt
1 ¼ cup warm milk

(or warm water)
4 tbsp vegetable oil

(or canola oil)
1 whole egg
1 cup fine bread crumbs

(for coating)

Instructions

1 In a mixing bowl place bread flour, sugar, instant yeast and salt. Stir with a
wire whisk to incorporate all ingredients.
2 Add warm milk/water, egg and vegetable oil then mix with a spatula until rough
dough forms. Fix mixing bowl in the mixer with dough hook attachment and beat at
low-medium setting for 12 minutes or until dough is smooth, elastic and doesn't
break when pulled.
3 Grease clean counter top or flat surface with a bit of oil and place dough on
top to avoid dough sticking. Knead for a couple of seconds then shape it into a
ball.
4 Transfer in another bowl and coat with thin layer of oil so it will not dry out
while rising. Cover with plastice wrap. Let it rise for 1 hour or until double
in size.
5 When dough doubled in size you know you achieved a good rise. Lightly press on
the dough to release the air/gas inside. Dump the dough on a clean work surface
and roll into a log shape. Cut and using a kitchen scale, weigh 45 grams of
dough.
6 Place breadcrumbs in a small plate and dredge cut dough onto the bread crumbs.
Arrange in a baking sheets and cover with a kitchen towel to rest for 30 minutes
or when it doubles in size.
7 While waiting for the final rise, pre-heat the oven at (375°F or 180°C°). When
the dough have rested for 30 minutes, place them in the oven and bake for 25
minutes at (375°F or 180°C°) . NOTE: baking time may vary according to oven used
8 Remove from oven and serve while hot or you can serve them for breakfast the
next morning. Just reheat in the microwave or oven and serve warm. Bon Appetit!
