Steps

1 Done	Mixing flour in a Planetary Mixer Pour the flour into the bowl and add the sourdough. Using the hook mix at a low speed adding milk a little at a time.
2 Done	Adding ingredients When the mixture is homogenous add the egg and sugar. Higher the speed. When the egg is well absorbed add the salt and continue mixing for 10 minutes.
3 Done	Remember to make the butter softer (take it out from the fridge one hour before). Add the butter a little at a time and make sure to make each piece absorb before adding the next. When the dough is smooth and elastic form a ball and put it in a bowl. Cover with a plastic film and let it leaven for 7 hours.
4 Done	When the dough is ready prepare the buttercream: put the soft butter in a bowl and add the icing sugar, mixing with a fork until you reach a homogeneous cream
5 Done	Flour a working table and put the dough. Drizzle with flour on the top of the dough and start flattening with a rolling pin obtaining a rectangular shape (approx.50x45 cm.). Spread the top with the buttercream. Set aside a spoonful. Cut the rectangle in eight stripes of equal wight.
6 Done	Prepare the apple slices Cut the apples into thin slices and put them in a bowl with water and lemon (this helps apple slices not to get brown). Lay down on each stripe two rows of slices, pay attention to let the red part appear from the edges. Drizzle with cinnamon powder Infine spolverizzate le mele con la cannella in polvere 18.
7 Done	Gently roll up each stripe to obtain a rose shape. Cover a baking tray ( 28 cm. diameter) with the parcel and put the roses inside Cover the tray with a plastic film and make it leaven for two hours or until doubled.
