this recipe is quite time consuming for it requires lots of proofing time, but taste wise its really good. Although it is not shown in the video I want to remind you that in proofing the yeast it is important to cover it with cling wrap or cloth and place it in a warm spot. Its winter here in where I live so to help my yeast rise I placed my yeast mixture in an oven where under it is a pot of boiling water.
Recipe as follow
In a bowl stir and dissolve
3/4 cups of lukewarm water
1 tbsp of yeast
1 tbs spoon of sugar
MIx this together and let it rest for about 10 mins.
then add
1 cup of flour
Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 2 hours
To the dough add
1/4 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 cup flour
Let the dough rise again for 2 hours
Now in a seperate bowl using a hand held mixer or stand-up mixer
combine
1/2 cup of butter
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup of sugar
1 cup of all purpose flour
Mix the risen dough to this mixture
the add 1/2 tsp of salt
Now if you find that the dough is still sticky add little bit of flour at at time. In my video I find adding 1/2 cup of flour is just about enough.
Now let the dough knead for 5-8 minutes
then in a bowl put about 1 tbsp of oil and roll the dough into that oil let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.

granulated sugar as needed
grated cheddar cheese as needed
