Sladké rohlíky ze Svaté Heleny (Sweet Rolls from Svatá Helena)
Sweet rolls from Svatá Helena prove that a roll doesn't have to be just the dry savoury pastry you know from the shops. The soft yeast dough with butter and lard is scented with lemon zest and lets your favourite filling shine – chocolate, coconut, nuts, poppy seeds or cocoa. After baking, the rolls are brushed with a sweet sugar syrup.
