Dove Rolls

1. 1

   For the dough, heat the milk until lukewarm and stir in the yeast. Place the flour in a bowl and add the yeast mixture. Stir into a smooth dough then cover and leave in a warm place for about 5 mins. Add the butter, salt and sugar and knead until smooth and elastic. If stiff, add a little warm water. Cover and leave in a warm place for another 30 mins.

2. 2

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead again. Shape into a long roll and divide into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a square. Cut one corner into a tail and fold the 2 adjacent corners in to make wings. Shape the remaining corner into a head. Place on a lined baking sheet, brush with the egg yolk and water mixture and bake for 15-20 mins.

   Remove from oven and cool. Press the almonds into the doves' heads for beaks and the cloves for eyes.
