Hamburger Mini Franz-Brötchen

Only 75g of softened butter is needed for the dough. Place the remaining 100g in a warm place to keep it soft. Place the milk and 75g butter in a small saucepan and heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is still lukewarm. Place the flour in a large bowl and mix with 50g of sugar, a pinch of salt, and the dried yeast. Reserve the remaining 75g sugar for later. Then add the lukewarm milk-butter mixture and the egg and mix, preferably with your hands, for about 6 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and is soft. Form the dough into a ball and let it rise in a warm place for 40 minutes. Mix the remaining sugar with the cinnamon. Halve the risen dough. Line a baking tray with baking paper and preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat). Roll out one half of the dough on a floured surface into a large, thin rectangle. The thinner they are, the better the rolls taste. Now brush with half of the very soft butter and sprinkle evenly with half of the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Roll up tightly, starting from the long side. Cut the roll of dough into small, approximately 4 cm long trapezoids. So that the long edge is on top one piece and the long edge is on the bottom the next piece. Press each piece of dough crosswise with the handle of a wooden spoon. This causes the little rolls to bend upwards and creates the typical Franz roll look. Place the pieces of dough on the baking tray, slide it into the center of the oven and bake for approx. 10-15 minutes. Make sure the dough does not brown. In the meantime, do the same with the other half of the dough and the remaining ingredients. Allow the finished pieces to cool on a wire rack. Makes approx. 20-25 mini rolls.
