Ingredients

  • 1 package dry yeast, 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter, melted, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup hot milk
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 4½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for brushing tops
  • sugar
  • butter, melted

Method

  3. Stir to dissolve sugar and melt butter.
  4. Cool to 105-115°, add to yeast, then mix.
  5. Add this milk mixture to the egg and beat in 4 cups flour, one cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
  6. Use the remaining 1/2 cup flour to dust the pastry cloth.
  7. Knead it for 5 minutes and place in a warm place, bowl greased side; turn the greased side of the dough up, cover, and let rise until double in a warm place, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
