What to do

• Mix all ingredients (except butter) together, and then knead it for 3 minutes at low speed. A rough dough will be formed.
• Add butter and knead at medium speed for 4 minutes, until a smooth dough is formed.
• Shape the dough into a round shape, then let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. Cover it with a wet cloth to prevent it from drying out.
  [Rising time may vary with different weather conditions. In summer, it may take about 1 hour, while in winter, it may take up to 2 hours.]
• Divide the dough into 9 portions (approximately 72g each), shape them into round dough, and let them rest for 15 minutes.
• Form the dough according to the following steps :
• Let the formed dough proof for at least 30 minutes. It should increase by at least 80% in size (ideally, it should double).
  [Proofing time also depends on the weather. In summer, it may take 30 minutes, while in winter, it could be up to 1 hour.]
• Add almond flakes on top before baking.
• Bake for 20 minutes at 180°C (356°F)
  [Ovens vary, so adjust the time and temperature as needed to get the best results.]
• After removing from the oven, brush the bread with butter to make them shiny.
