First, prepare the dough. In a large mixing bowl, crack 2 fresh eggs; add butter, salt, sugar, and cold milk; mix to combine; add flour; and knead the dough.
Leave the dough in a warm place for up to 1.5 hours. Then cut the dough in half and roll it out thinly.
Spread the margarine over the rolled out dough and spread it evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
Roll up the dough and tie it like a bow or shoelace.
Chill the dough in refrigerator for 2 hours.
Remove the dough, squeeze it to become flat and roll into a layer.
Cut the triangles and cut a little bit in the middle of the end, wrap the dough into a roll.
Put the roll bread on a baking sheet and leave the cover on top with a film for another 1-2 hours.
Bake them in a preheated oven to 240 ° C for 10 -15 minutes.
