    I went to make this and realized I have no idea how to read the ingredients. :) With the help of http://www.jsward.com/cooking/conversion.shtml, I came up with the following:

    500 g all-purpose flour = 4 and a half cups (some sites say 5)
    1 egg
    10 g salt = 1/2 tbsp
    50 g sugar = 1/4 cup
    20 g fresh yeast = 3 packets (3/4 oz.)
    200 ml warm milk
    125 g butter, softened = 1 stick

    Does this sound right? This seems like a lot of yeast to me but so does 5 cups of flour. I think I’m going to try and cut the recipe to a third.

    Yes… the conversion looks okay!

    Please let me know how it came up…

    Good luck!
