FLAT ROLLS

-

Rectangula­r baking tray, 27 cm. x 35 cm. (or other)

25 gr. fresh yeast

½ cup water

1 Tbsp. sugar

A little regular flour

½ kg. yeast flour

¾ cup sugar

3 eggs

3 Tbsp. oil

1 bag vanilla sugar

1-1½ cups of water

100 gr. butter/softened margarine cut into medium-sized cubes ½-1 tsp. turmeric (according to desired color strength) or 2 Tbsp.

instant Vanilla pudding powder

½ tsp. salt

100 gr. of light raisins

For dipping:

50 gr. butter or melted butter

For brushing:

1 egg, beaten, with a little water or oil ¼ cup sesame seeds

Syrup for brushing:

¾ cup sugar

½ cup water

1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Dissolve the yeast in sugar and water in a medium-sized dish and let it sit for about 15 minutes.

Place the flour in a bowl, create a hole in the middle and place the remaining sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla sugar and the yeast in it. Mix gradually, adding the water, butter, turmeric, salt and raisins, until it is soft and flexible.

Cover the bowl with a damp towel and put it in a warm place for about an hour and a half, until the dough has doubled its volume.

Grease a rectangula­r pan.

Divide the dough into small pieces of about 3-4 cm., roll them into balls and place them on the baking tray next to each other. Brush the dough with a little bit of melted butter.

Brush the rolls in the baking tray with egg and sprinkle them with sesame seeds. Let the dough rise again in a warm place for about half an hour. Bake it in the preheated oven at medium heat (180°) for 20-25 minutes.

To make the syrup, cook all the ingredient­s in a pan and reduce it to the right consistenc­y. When the rolls are baked, brush them with the syrup.
