Instructions:




…for herbed butter bread rolls:

For the herbed butter, finely chop parsley & chives. Then mix the chopped herbs together with 150 grams of soft butter, 1 minced clove of garlic & a good pinch of salt and pepper.

For the yeast dough, crumble ½ cube of yeast in a tall container, add 1 teaspoon of sugar & 200 milliliters of lukewarm milk. Next, stir everything with a whisk or fork until the yeast has completely dissolved.




Then put the yeast-water mixture together with 400 grams of flour, a good dash of olive oil & a good pinch of salt in a mixing bowl & knead with a food processor or a mixer with dough hook for 4 – 5 minutes to form a smooth dough that will completely detach from the bowl wall.

Put the dough on a lightly floured work surface & roll out as thinly and rectangularly as possible to the size 50cm x 40cm with a rolling pin. Spread the prepared herbed butter evenly on the dough & then roll up tightly from the long side.




Cut the dough roll with a knife into 15 – 20 snails of roughly the same size & place them on 2 baking sheets lined with baking paper leaving a little space between them. Cover the bread rolls with a kitchen towel & let them rest for 30 – 45 minutes in a warm place until the dough volume has increased significantly.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat) in good time & bake the herbed butter snails after the resting time for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown. Take the done herbed butter bread rolls out of the oven, let them cool down briefly & then best serve warm. Have fun baking!
