Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast with the honey/sugar in the warm milk and wait briefly for it to activate, then add the remaining ingredients and the flour in portions, stirring energetically and then kneading to a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangular sheet about 0.5-1 cm thick, brush it with the melted butter and sprinkle with the grated yellow cheese. Roll it up into a roll and cut into snails about 2.5-3 cm wide, arranging them in a tray lined with baking paper.
- Brush them with the yolk thinned with a few drops of water, milk or oil and leave for about 30 minutes to relax.
