   • In a small container, mix the yeast with a small amount of water and 1/2 cup warm water. Allow it to sit and activate for about 10 minutes.

2. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a large glass bowl, combine sugar, salt, oil, and milk.
   • Gradually add the flour and knead until well mixed.
   • Incorporate the eggs into the dough, continuing to knead.
   • Add the activated yeast mixture and stir until the dough reaches a consistent texture.

3. Let the Dough Rise:

   • Cover the dough with plastic wrap or place it in a plastic bag.
   • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for approximately two hours.

4. Shape the Rolls:

   • After the dough has risen, knead it again and divide it into four equal parts.
   • Work with one part at a time.
   • Roll out each part into a 25 centimeter (10 inch) circle using a rolling pin.
   • Cut the flattened dough into 8 triangles.

5. Assemble the Rolls:

   • Place a slice of ham on the widest part of each triangle.
   • Roll up each triangle, starting from the widest part where the ham is, and roll towards the point of the triangle.

6. Bake the Rolls:

   • Place the rolled-up ham croissants on a greased baking sheet or pan, with the point of the triangle folded underneath.
   • Cover the rolls and let them rise for an additional hour in a warm place.
   • Preheat the oven to 350-375°F (180-190°C).
   • Brush melted butter on each roll.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they turn light golden brown.
   • Remove from the oven and brush with either a mixture of water and sugar or with beaten egg white.
   • Return the rolls to the oven and bake until they are golden brown and cooked through.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Enjoy the ham croissant rolls while they’re still warm and fresh out of the oven.
   • They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack throughout the day.

Tips and Tricks:

• Ensure your yeast is fresh for optimal rising of the dough.
• If you have leftover rolls, they can be frozen and reheated later for a quick and delicious treat.
• For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and enjoy the flaky croissant rolls on their own or with your favorite filling.
