Crack 1 egg into a bowl and add 3 tbsp of sugar, 150 ml milk, and 1 tsp of instant yeast. Mix well to dissolve the yeast and sugar. Next, add 2 cups of bread flour into the same bowl followed by 1/2 tsp salt. Mix it until you form a dough then knead it with your hands. Cover the bowl and let it rest for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, transfer it to a surface and flatten it. Add 2 tbsp unsalted butter and knead the dough together with the butter. Knead it until smooth, then round it up, cover it, and let it rest for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flatten the dough, sprinkle with some flour, and roll it into a large rectangular dough sheet using a roller pin. Add some butter to the surface and spread them across. (You can use either unsalted or salted butter here.)

Fold the dough sheet in thirds and press or tap it to expel the air inside, then roll out the folded dough sheet to expand. Butter the surface again, then roll up the dough sheet from one side to form a cylinder. Press the closing edge thinly then roll it up. Divide it into half, then cut each half into smaller portions. After this, transfer them into the mold. Cover it and let it rise for about 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, brush the top with egg wash or milk. Put them in a preheated oven of 340 degrees F and bake for about 22 minutes.
