Ingredients
Scale
- 480 g (4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 240 ml (1 cup) whole milk, warmed

- Extra butter for brushing

Instructions
- Warm the milk to 43°C (110°F) and sprinkle the yeast and sugar over it; let sit for 5–7 minutes until foamy.
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the foamy yeast-milk, egg, and butter; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for about 45–60 minutes until doubled.
