- 1 package of yeast - 2¼ teaspoons or 7 grams
- 1 cup of milk
- ⅓ cup of sugar
- ⅓ cup of butter
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 eggs
- In a mixing bowl combine 2 cups of flour and the yeast.
- In a saucepan heat the milk, butter and sugar just until warm 110 degrees is perfect.
- Pour the milk mixture into the mixer bowl.
- Add the eggs.
- Beat on low speed for about 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl.
- Beat on high for 3 minutes.
- Add 2 cups of flour and knead for 6-8 minutes by hand or using the dough hook on your mixer until smooth and elastic.
- If the dough is sticky add the final half cup of flour.
- Place dough on to a lightly floured surface and shape into the smooth ball.
- Place dough into a large bowl that has been rubbed with oil or butter.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with non stick spray.
- Now cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place it somewhere warm to allow the dough to rise until double in size, approximately 1 hour.
- After the hour punch the dough down and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Your dough is now ready to use.
