Ingredients:
3/4 cup milk of choice
1 1/4 oz packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
2 eggs (room temp)
3 1/4 cups regular all purpose flour or bread flour
Instructions:
Microwave milk for 40 seconds. To test out the temperature, I put my pinky in the milk, if it feels too hot for me it’s too hot for the yeast. If it feels too hot, let it cool for a couple minutes before adding the yeast (should feel like warm bath water)
Pour the milk into a mixing bowl.
Sprinkle packet of yeast over the milk and whisk together. It should start foaming and bubbling. Add the sugar and whisk.
Pour in the butter (also make sure this isn’t too hot) and the eggs and mix well.
Add in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon or using mixer on medium speed until dough begins to form.
*If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle flour over the top and rub it in/knead until it no longer sticks to your hands*
Lightly oil a large mixing bowl with coconut oil and place the dough inside.
Microwave a dish towel for 30 seconds, cover and let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour. It should double or more in size.
*If you want to speed up this process, preheat oven to 100F, turn off oven, set bowl inside with door cracked open*
*Do NOT cover your bowl with plastic wrap.*
Roll your dough out on a floured countertop into a large rectangle (about 9×12 or larger). Pour about 3 tbsp melted butter and brush evenly over the top.
