Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir to dissolve and let it stand for about 10 minutes or until frothy.
Add the beaten egg, melted butter, and salt into the yeast mixture. Stir well to incorporate.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring well after each addition, until a dough is formed.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and divide it into about 20-25 pieces. Roll each piece into a log shape, and then roll these into breadcrumbs.
Place the bread roll pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space for them to expand.
Let the bread rolls rest for another 20 minutes while you preheat your oven to 375 F.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite coffee or tea.
