Hello. bread is the head of everything, so you need to cook it strictly according to the recipe. Flour should only be of the highest grade; it is imperative to sift the flour before this to enrich it with oxygen. mix milk and water with yeast and let the yeast rise, the dough will be more fluffy, and then we’ll find out if the yeast is good. After kneading, wait for the dough to rise, so that it rises faster, you can put it in a warm place. Divide the risen dough and roll out rolls. You can brush the top with egg and it will be golden brown, but you can also just use egg white. Sprinkling with sesame seeds will have a pleasant aroma and excellent taste. Bon appetit.
