Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F (43°C)
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
Instructions
- Warm the milk slightly to around 110°F (43°C). Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the warm milk, add a pinch of granulated sugar, and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or with a mixer on medium speed for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Gently punch down the risen dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf or divide into individual buns. Transfer to a greased loaf pan or baking tray.
- Cover the shaped dough and let it rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the top of the dough with a beaten egg for an egg wash. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the crust is deep golden brown.
