## Instructions

5. Add the cooled-down starter to the mixing bowl.
6. Mix the dough for 10 minutes on medium speed using a stand mixer.
7. Put the dough into a lightly greased bowl, twirl it around, and cover it with plastic wrap.
8. Let the dough prove for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
9. Punch down the dough to release the air.
10. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
11. Roll each piece of dough into a ball by pinching and forming a ball with your hand, then gliding it with the palm of your hand, thumb, and pointer finger to create a perfect little ball.
12. Place the dough balls into a greased pan.
13. Wrap the pan with plastic wrap again and let them prove for another 30 minutes.
14. Brush the rolls with egg wash.
