Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup whole milk (warm)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup filling of choice (e.g., fruit preserves or chocolate chips)

Instructions

Dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar and let sit until frothy.
In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add melted butter and eggs, then stir in the yeast mixture to form a sticky dough.
Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let rise for about one hour or until doubled.
Roll dough into a rectangle, spread filling evenly, roll tightly, and cut into sections.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place sections upright in muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
