In a bowl, beat the eggs and measure out 5 tablespoons. Reserve the remaining beaten eggs to make the yema.
In a large bowl, combine sugar and the 5 tablespoons of eggs. Stir until sugar is incorporated.
Add the remaining warm milk, the yeast, and ¼ cup of the flour. Stir mixture until smooth and let stand briefly for about 2-3 minutes.
Combine the remaining flour and salt and add to the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon for 7 minutes or until it has gathered into a smooth, shiny dough. The dough will be very sticky. Do not add any flour.
Add 2 tablespoons of the warm, melted butter and using your hands, mix the butter into the dough. Mix for about 5 minutes, incorporating the butter into the dough until it is soft, smooth and very shiny.
Place dough in a lightly greased bowl and let rise for 1 ½ hours or until doubled in bulk.
Knead the dough briefly just to deflate. Place it back in the bowl and chill in the fridge for one hour.
