Method
- Whisk the warm milk, yeast, and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Cover and allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add salt, butter, and 2 cups (250g) of flour. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on medium speed for 5 minutes or by hand on a floured surface until it feels slightly tacky and passes the windowpane test.
- Grease a large bowl with oil, place the dough in it, cover, and allow it to rise for 1.5–2 hours until nearly double in size.
- Punch down the dough and flatten it into a 10x14-inch rectangle on a lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Prepare for lamination by cutting ¾ cup of salted butter into ¼-inch thick slices.
- For the first lamination, place butter down the center of the dough, fold edges over it, and then roll out to a 9x12-inch rectangle. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- For the second and third laminations, repeat the process: roll out to 9x12 inches, fold, and refrigerate for 20 minutes each time.
- For the final lamination and shaping, roll out to 9x12 inches, fold edges over, and roll up from the 9-inch side into a log. Cut into 5 even rolls.
- Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, place rolls seam side down in the pan, cover, and allow to rise for 45–60 minutes until slightly puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Whisk egg wash ingredients together and brush generously over the risen rolls. Bake for 1 hour until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer reads 195°F (90°C).
- Cool in the loaf pan for 30 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool for at least 15 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
