Preparation
  1. Combine warm fresh milk, sugar, and instant yeast in a bowl and stir slowly. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
  2. Add the egg, a pinch of salt, and half of the flour; mix until a thick batter forms.
  3. Gradually fold in the remaining flour until a dough forms.
  4. Incorporate the softened butter and knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
  5. Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Shaping
  1. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal parts.
  2. Roll each piece out, center an Eden cheese slice within, and seal the edges.
  3. Place the shaped dough on a baking tray and allow them to rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  2. Brush the tops with egg wash before baking.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Remove from the oven and brush with margarine while still warm. Dust with powdered milk.
