Tips

Ensure the milk is lukewarm (around 37-40 °C).

The dough should feel elastic and smooth after kneading. You can use a stand mixer.

Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot. If it’s cold at home, preheat the oven to 30-40°C, then turn it off and place the bowl with the dough in the warm oven.

Make sure the skillet is preheated before cooking the rolls so they sear well and become golden brown.

Use tender steak (such as filet) for the best taste and texture. Cut the meat into even pieces.

Adjust the amount of cayenne powder to taste. If you prefer mild flavors, you can omit it.

This bread is best enjoyed warm, so serve them right after baking.

Serve with a spicy sauce, or a refreshing yogurt-garlic dip.
