These sweet milk bread rolls are made of a milk-heavy dough, split into multiple pieces and then baked together in a loaf pan or on a baking tray. These sweet milk bread rolls are called “Einback” and are very popular in Germany,  where you can buy it in many bakeries. It is soft inside and the crust is a little bit crunchy. The rolls are deliciously sweet and soft and taste great served with some butter, jam or honey.

There are lots of recipes online for versions of Einback, here is my super simple version that turns out great every single time.

For this recipe I used Schär Bread Mix B but you could also use another similar gluten-free flour blend.
