Directions
- Start by adding yeast, warm milk, and 1 tsp of sugar to a bowl. Stir to dissolve and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour.
- Combine the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl and mix with a dough hook.
- Once a ball of dough has formed, remove it from the mixing bowl and place it in a separate oiled bowl.
- Cover the bowl and place in a warm spot to let rise for one hour. The dough should be double its original size at the end of the hour.
- Spread flour on a clean countertop and begin to roll the dough out.
