Directions

1. Put the flour and yeast in a bowl and combine. Add the sugar and salt
2. Pour the egg and milk into the bowl.
3. Use a large spoon (or pastry scraper) to mix everything together.
4. Take the dough out of the bowl and knead. You will feel the dough become elastic after kneading for about 5 minutes.
5. Add the butter and knead the dough for 5-10 minutes or until the dough is soft, pliable, smooth and slightly shiny, almost satiny.
6. Put the dough into a lightly floured bowl and cover with a cloth.
7. Let the dough rise in a warm place until its size doubles (1 – 1 ½ hour depending on the room temperature).
8. Preheat oven to 400º F.
9. Take the dough out of the bowl, deflate it by touching lightly.
10. Cut the dough into 8 pieces, and roll each of them into a ball.
11. Place them on a round cake pan (mine was 20 cm diameter), forming a circle, leaving some space between them to rise (about 1 cm)
12. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest for 10 minutes.
13. Wet 8 cilantro leaves and put them on each ball.
14. Dust the balls with flour
15. Bake for about 20 minutes
16. Let the bread cool, unmold and enjoy!
