# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Take them out after baking and cool for about 10 minutes. Move to a wire rack. Top with anything you like—flaky salt, a bit of chocolate drizzle, or shake some powdered sugar on.
02 -
Get your oven nice and hot at 375°F (190°C). Pop them in and wait 20-25 minutes till they’re super flaky and golden.
03 -
Twist each strip so the layers show on the sides and tuck them into a greased muffin pan. Do that for every dough piece. Cover and let them chill for another 30 minutes so they puff up a bit.
04 -
Divide it into 6 equal parts after punching down. Take each, roll it out flat into a rectangle, coat with softened butter, add anything you want inside, then roll up into a long log. Slice it down the middle the long way to get two strips out of each.
05 -
Toss your flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together in a big bowl. Pour in warm milk, melted butter, and beat in the egg. Stir till it’s all mixed up into a scraggy dough. Knead for roughly 8-10 minutes till it feels smooth and stretchy. Plop into a buttered bowl, toss on a cover, and let it sit to puff up for around 1-1.5 hours, till it’s twice as big.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Chill the dough overnight in your fridge if you want to prep ahead
02 -
Keep finished ones out for up to 2 days or freeze for a whole month
03 -
Switch up the inside! Lemon curd, Nutella, even pesto tastes great
