• Then pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix everything together until there are no dry patches left.
• Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes to hydrate properly.
• Next, knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
• Then add the softened butter and continue kneading until the dough turns silky and stretchy.
• Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover, and proof until doubled in size.
• Once proofed, gently punch the dough down, divide it into 2 pieces, and roll each dough into a large rectangle.
• Then spread the softened butter evenly all across the surface.
• Roll the dough tightly into a spiral, and cut into even pieces.
