Step 2

After 40 minutes, deflate the dough, then divide it into 25 equal pieces. Round each piece into a ball and place it in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for 40 minutes or until they double in size. Brush each with egg wash, then bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 15-18 minutes. After baking, brush with melted salted butter for a softer crust.
