Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water (110-115°F)
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve 1 packet of active dry yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (110-115°F). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a medium saucepan, scald 1 cup of milk (heat until bubbles form around edges, but do not boil). Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dissolved yeast, lukewarm milk mixture, and 1 large egg. Gradually add 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for this step.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl and turn it once to coat the surface. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, remove the dough from the refrigerator and shape it into desired forms (e.g., rolls, braids, or loaves). Place the shaped dough on greased baking sheets or loaf pans.
Allow the shaped dough to rise in a warm location for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dough for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optionally, glaze or frost the baked goods for added sweetness.
