Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 2 hrs 40 mins


• heat the milk in a small saucepan until it , then remove from heat. add the butter, stir until melted and pour into a large bowl to cool.
• dissolve yeast in the milk mixture. mix in 1/3 cup sugar, salt, eggs and 2 cups flour. stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. when the dough has pulled together, turn it out a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes. lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and form into rounds. with a rolling pin, roll the rounds into oval buns. place them two lightly greased baking sheets. cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• while the bread rises, make the topping: in a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup sugar, 2/3 cup flour, butter until a crumb mixture forms. stir in the egg yolks until well blended. crumble the topping over the rolls so the entire surface is covered.
• bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until sugar topping is lightly browned.
