How to prepare
- Mix the egg yolks and sugar until well blended and set aside.
- Boil the milk with the butter and add it little by little to the egg yolk mixture.
- Return to medium-low heat and stir until thickened.
- Wrap it in plastic wrap to prevent it from forming a film and let it cool.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, and sugar.
- Add milk, eggs, butter and salt and mix until a homogeneous dough forms.
- Knead for 5 minutes and let rest for 1 hour.
