Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Liquid measuring cup
- cooking thermometer
- 9x13” pan
- Plastic Wrap
- Dish towel
- Mixer Bowl
- Dough hook
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cup milk warmed to 110 F
- 2 Tbsp instant yeast
- 4 Cups flour spooned and levelled
- 1/3 Cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 Tsp salt
- 1/3 Cup salted butter melted
- 1 egg room temperature
- 2 Tbsp Butter (optional) melted
Instructions
- In a liquid measuring cup, warm milk to 110-114 F
- Add instant yeast and set aside for 7 minutes. Mixture should become foam-like on the top and milk on the bottom.
- Meanwhile in a large missing bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt. Whisk together and push mixture away from the middle so that you can see the bottom of the bowl, a space about 2-3 inches wide.
- Melt butter and pour in the middle of the flour mixture where you cleared a space in the middle of the bowl.
- Add room temperature egg to the melted butter. Whisk together carefully to not include the dry ingredients.
- Once the yeast and milk mixture have reached approx 7 minutes (see above pictures to know when ready), add to the egg and melted butter. Carefully whisk all wet ingredients together.
- Once wet ingredients are combined, use a spatula to combine the wet mixture and dry mixture. Mix by starting along the edge of the bowl, mixing inward.
- As dough starts to form together, transfer to mixer bowl and dough hook or gently start kneading dough until combined and dough is in a ball.
- Cover in plastic wrap and a warm, damp towel. Place in a warm place or in a warmed oven for one hour.
- Remove dough from bowl and gently spread into a rectangle and divide into desired equal parts (12 large or 24 small).
- Place into a parchment paper lined or greased pan and cover with plastic wrap.
- Place in warm place or warmed oven for one hour. If making ahead then place in fridge for up to 15 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350. Cook for 14-18 minutes. See above for cooking instructions if made ahead.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter and brush on top.
- Cool 5-10 minutes and serve.
