Ingredients
For the Dough:

- 200 ml (1 cup) milk
- 600 grams (2 1/2 cups) flour
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) oil
- 45 grams (1/4 cup) sugar

For the Topping:
- Sugar (for sprinkling)
- Butter (1 tsp for each roll)
- Tutti frutti
- Raisins

Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the milk, oil, sugar, and salt. Heat slightly just until warm to help dissolve the sugar and salt.
- Activate Yeast:
- Sprinkle the dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add Eggs:
- Beat the eggs and add them to the yeast mixture.
- Add Flour:
- Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.
Shape and Add Toppings:
- Shape Rolls:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly to form a roll.
- Add Toppings:
- Place a teaspoon of butter on each roll, then sprinkle with sugar, tutti frutti, raisins, chopped almonds, and orange zest.
- Second Rise:
- Arrange the rolls on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy.
