Ingredients :
- 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240ml) warm milk (110°F / 45°C)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
1. Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
2. Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Add the egg, melted butter, and the yeast mixture.
Mix until a rough dough forms.
3. Knead
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
(Or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.)
4. First Rise
Place the dough into a greased bowl.
Cover with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
