- 1). Place the sugar, yeast, warm milk, flour and salt into a mixing bowl and stir well until the ingredients are mixed and a dough starts to form.
- 2). Sprinkle flour onto a counter-top and turn the dough onto it. Knead the mixture for approximately five minutes until it is smooth. If the dough feels dry and crumbly, add a little more warm milk and knead well. If it is sticky, add another tablespoon of flour, then reknead.
- 3). Put the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a damp tea towel. Place the bowl in a warm place and allow the dough to rise for 10 to 15 minutes.
- 4). Sprinkle flour, lightly, onto the baking sheet. Place the dough onto the baking sheet and roll out into a rectangle approximately 12 inches long by 10 inches wide.
- 5). Spread the butter onto the dough. Fold the dough, along the long sides, into thirds, first folding one edge one third into the dough, then the other side on top of the first. The dough should look like a folded letter approximately 12 inches long by 3 inches wide.
- 6). Cover the dough with plastic kitchen film and place into the freezer for 10 minutes.
- 7). Remove the dough from the freezer and take off the plastic wrap. Roll the dough again into a rectangle. Fold the dough again, along the long sides, into thirds, first folding one edge one third into the dough, then the other side on top of the first. The dough should look like a folded letter approximately 12 inches long by 3 inches wide again. Cover with plastic wrap again and refreeze for 10 minutes.
- 8). Remove the dough from the freezer and take off the plastic wrap. Roll the dough again into a rectangle. Working from the long edge, roll the dough into a long spiral. Cut the spiral into 1 inch slices and lay them onto a greased baking tray.
- 9). Place the tray in a warm place for approximately 45 minutes, until the rolls have doubled in size.
