You can use milk instead of skim milk powder and water.
Take the butter out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for at least 1–2 hours.
Sift the flour (bread flour) once in advance.
Warm the water or milk slightly in the microwave until just lukewarm (be careful, as hot liquid will kill the yeast).
Ham, sausage, or mushrooms are also good, according to your taste.

Steps

1. For the process from kneading through the first rise,

Once the dough has finished kneading and its first rise (50 minutes), punch down the gas, round the dough, cover with plastic wrap so it does not dry out, and let it rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes for an intermediate rest.
2. Finely chop the filling ingredients. Drain the tuna thoroughly of its oil.
Ham, sausage, or mushrooms are also good, according to your taste.
3. Add mayonnaise and ground black pepper to the vegetables, then mix evenly.
4. Roll out the dough that has finished its bench rest into a rectangular shape using a rolling pin.
A thickness of 0.5 cm is ideal.
5. Place the filling ingredients on top of the dough and spread them evenly.
6. Roll up from the bottom, pressing gently as you roll.
Brush a little water along the final edge.
7. Pinch the seam tightly so the filling does not burst out.
8. Slice into 3–4 cm pieces.
Rather than pressing down hard with the knife, slice using a back-and-forth sawing motion so it cuts cleanly without losing its shape.

9. Arrange on a baking pan, cover with plastic wrap so they do not dry out, and let them undergo the second rise for 40 minutes.
Just like during the first rise, resting the pan over a container filled with warm water helps the rise in cold weather like these days.
2. Once fully risen, they will double in size like this.

FAQ

How can I substitute the skim milk powder and water in the dough?

You can knead the dough using an equal amount of milk in place of the skim milk powder and water.

Is there a trick to slicing the rolled dough neatly and evenly?

Instead of pressing down hard on the dough all at once, slice gently in a back-and-forth motion so the rolls do not lose their shape.

How can I help the second rise go smoothly in cold weather?

Placing a container of warm water underneath the baking pan and covering it with plastic wrap to prevent drying helps the rise tremendously.

What ingredients can I use for the filling besides tuna?

Depending on your preference, you can add ham, sausage, or mushrooms, or fill them with finely chopped apples, simmered sweet potatoes, or kabocha squash for variety.
