Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the butter into pieces and leave to soften at room temperature.Warm the milk and sprinkle the yeast over it. Be careful, the milk shouldnt be hot or it will kill the yeast.In a big bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Rub in the butter until you get a crumb-like consistency.

2. 2

   Mix in the egg, using a hard spatula.Slowly add the milk and knead until the dough is smooth, soft and no longer sticky.Cover with Clingfilm and allow to rest for about 1h30, or until the dough has doubled in size.Once your dough has risen, tip it onto your working surface and knock the air out.To shape the Mannele, you can use of the 2 following methods:1.divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into logs.

Do not put more than 6 Mannele per sheet or theyll stick together during the second rise.Cover with a towel and let rise for about an hour.Preheat your oven to 180C/350F.Beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon milk and brush over the Mannele.Pin the chocolate chips/sultanas/pine nuts onto the dough for the eyes, buttons and/or other decorations.
