Directions

• Combine the yeast, milk and sugar in a small bowl or jug and cover and set aside for 10 minutes or until frothy then stir in the egg.
• Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Make a well in the centre of the flour and add the liquid mixture and stir to form a soft dough.
• Transfer to an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead for about 5 min or until smooth and elastic.
• With the mixer motor running, add the chopped butter until the butter is combined and a smooth and silky dough forms.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover and set aside in a warm place to prove for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Meantime, make the cookie dough by placing the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat until light and creamy.
• Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix until well combined.
• Fold through the flour and baking powder.
• Divide the cookie dough into 16 small balls and set aside in the fridge.
• While the cookie dough is setting, divide the bread dough into 16 equal sized balls and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
• Roll out the refrigerated cookie dough on cling wrap to 5mm thick.
• Once it is rolled place one bread dough on top of one cookie dough ball and wrap together using cling wrap.
• Take the cling wrap off and score the cookie dough surface diagonally and roll on the granule sugar.
• Repeat for all 16 bread rolls.
• Place them on a cooking paper lined oven tray and cover with clean damp cloth and set aside for about 40 min or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 180 degree and bake for 15 minutes.
