Incorporate the wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the flour. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Mix with a spatula until the dough begins to come together.
Step 2: Knead the dough.
Knead by hand or with a stand mixer: On a floured work surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead on medium speed for about 5-7 minutes.
Check the consistency: The dough should be soft and elastic. If it is too sticky, add a little flour, but avoid adding too much to prevent the loaves from becoming tough.
Step 3: Proof the dough.
First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean tea towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1½ hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 4: Shaping the Rolls
Deflate the dough: Once the dough has risen, gently press it down to release the air.
Divide the dough: On a floured work surface, divide the dough into 100-120g portions, depending on the desired size of your rolls.
Shape into balls: Shape each portion into a ball by pulling the edges towards the center and creating a smooth surface.
Place on a baking sheet: Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave enough space between them for them to rise again.
Step 5: Second Rise
Let rise again: Cover the balls with a tea towel and let them rise for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Step 6: Prepare the egg wash
Preheat the oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Brush the buns: Beat an egg in a bowl and use a pastry brush to gently brush the top of each bun. If desired, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
Step 7:
Baking Bake: Bake the buns in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool: Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

I adopted the girl everyone blamed for my daughter’s disappearance — 10 years later, she faced me and said, “Everything you know about that night is a LIE.” After my wife died, my daughter Emily and I were all that remained of our little family. She was the light of my life. Her best friend, Nora, was always there too. Nora had no parents. No real home. Those girls were inseparable. Emily would say, “Dad, Nora is basically my sister.” Then one October evening, they went for a walk. An ordinary walk near the house, like countless others. But only Nora came back. Her sneakers were muddy. Her lips were blue from the cold. She stood on my porch trembling so hard her teeth clicked. “Where’s Emily?” I asked. Nora just stared past me and whispered, “I have no idea.” The police searched the whole town and the entire state. But Emily was never found. She had vanished. Nora was the main witness. But everyone blamed her for Emily’s disappearance. Even my own brother said, “That girl knows more than she’s saying.” Maybe she did. But every time I looked at Nora, I didn’t see a monster. I saw a terrified child who had lost the one soul who had ever loved her. So I did the thing that made the whole town turn against me. I adopted her. People called me foolish. Weak. Sick with grief. But Nora never took Emily’s room. Never touched her things. Every year, on the anniversary, she placed one white daisy on Emily’s pillow and cried when she thought I couldn’t hear. Ten years passed. Last night, I was sitting in the dim kitchen with Emily’s old pink scarf in my hands when Nora stepped in after her late shift. She was pale. Her coat was soaked with rain. “Dad,” she said, and her voice broke. I stood up slowly. She swallowed hard and whispered, “EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NIGHT OF EMILY’S DISAPPEARANCE IS A LIE.” My pulse slammed against my throat so hard I gripped the chair. “Nora… what did you mean?” Tears spilled down her face. “Please,” she said. “Stay calm. I can’t hide this ANYMORE.” Then she walked to the front door and opened it. The second I recognized the person standing on my porch— I fell to my knees. PART2 YOU WANT??
