Ingredients

• 3 egg yolks
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled, divided
• 0.5 cup milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and set aside. Lightly punch dough down and knead on a lightly floured surface into an 18x9-inch rectangle. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.

Step 3

Roll dough up snugly from 1 short end and cut into 9 slices, trimming ends to make neat. Place slices in the prepared baking pan, cut side-up. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel and put in a warm place for 40 minutes.

Step 4

Bake rolls in the preheated oven until light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Step 5

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl, about 5 minutes. Add flour, milk, sugar, 4 tablespoons melted and cooled butter, egg yolks, and salt. Mix well.

Step 6

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 5 minutes, adding more flour a little at a time until dough is no longer sticky.

Step 7

Grease a bowl. Add dough, cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let dough rise in a warm place for 50 minutes.
