Ingredients

• 500 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 75 grams unsalted butter
• 250 milliliters warm milk
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then add the warm milk to the butter.

Step 3

Gradually pour the milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin oval shape, then roll it up tightly from one end to form a crescent shape.

Step 8

Place the formed rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each roll. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds, if desired.

Step 11

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Allow the Rozky to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
