Sift the flour into a large enough bowl. Stir the yeast with the sugar and 5 tablespoons of milk and let stand for 15 minutes. Add the dampfl, the remaining lukewarm milk, the egg, the soft butter and the spices to the flour form and knead the whole thing into a smooth dough. Dust the dough thinly with flour and let it rise for 45 minutes with the lid closed. Knead the risen dough again briefly and divide into 6 to 8 pieces. Form each piece of dough into an oval roll and place on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Make several incisions in each roll lengthwise with scissors, pulling up the “points” a tiny bit. Let them rise for another 15 minutes, then brush them with egg milk and bake until golden brown. They taste best fresh from the oven.
