  • Remove the dough, press to release air.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
  • Keep the remaining portions under cover while working on a roll.
  • Roll one portion of the dough into a thin oblong shape.
  • Apply butter evenly on the disc.
  • Keeping one side intact, cut the oval shape into thin stripes.
  • All the stripes must be joined at the top.
  • Now start rolling from the intact part.
  • Once you have made a log out of it, roll it into a coil and tuck the ends.
  • Place the rolls on a buttered tray leaving 2cm in between.

  • Bake the rolls for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden.
  • Remove from oven and brush the top of the rolls with the remaining butter garlic mint mixture when they are still hot.
  • Serve the rolls hot or warm.

Notes

Notes: If using active dry yeast instead of instant yeast, prove the yeast with 1/4 cup of warm water and a tsp of sugar until bubbly. Do not mix it directly into the dough.
Reduce 1/4 cup of water while adding milk and butter as we have already used 1/4 cup of water to prove yeast.
