Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, heat the whole milk until warm but not hot (approximately 110°F/43°C). Add the unsalted butter and stir until melted. Set aside to cool until just warm.
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water (around 110°F/43°C) and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the yeast mixture, warm milk and butter mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract to the well.
Using a wooden spoon or the dough hook attachment of a stand mixer, mix the ingredients until combined. Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes or with the mixer on medium-low speed for 5-6 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and shape into your desired form (e.g., rolls, braids, or a loaf).
If desired, add fillings or toppings before shaping (e.g., cinnamon and sugar, jam, or chocolate).
Place the shaped dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking tray. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and allow it to rise again for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the dough for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optional: Brush the top with melted butter or glaze for a shiny finish.
