Step 1 (The Dough)

With a bread machine: Pour all of the ingredients into your bread machine. Select the 'basic' program and then the 'dough' setting. After 2 and a half hours, your dough is ready. 

By hand: Mix the flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Make a well, add the yeast, melted butter, the egg and half of the milk. Knead by hand or with a food processor, while slowly adding the remaining milk. When the dough is smooth and soft, cover the bowl with a clean dishcloth and leave it to double in size in a warm place. 

Once the dough has risen: On a floured surface, cut the dough into small balls about the size of a large walnut.
