Ingredients
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package)
1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
¼ cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter (for brushing)
Instructions
1: Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Add the yeast and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. This means the yeast is active and ready to use.
2: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of the flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form. Gradually add the remaining flour, about ¼ cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. It should be soft and slightly sticky, but manageable.
