Ingredients

  • cups Warm Milk
  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 4 tbsp Butter

Instructions

  1. Gently warm your milk in the microwave or over the stove. Make sure it is warm, NOT hot. Add your active dry yeast to the milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, add the flour, salt, and honey to the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the milk and yeast mixture. Mix on low until everything is well combined, roughly 5 minutes.
  3. Increase the speed slightly and add your butter. Mix for 15 minutes. The dough should be pulling away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. After the mixing is done, remove the dough from the bowl and knead it for just a minute to form it into a smooth ball. Place it back in the bowl.
  5. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise for +/- 2 hours. The dough should double in size.
  6. After the first rise, remove the dough from the bowl and flatten it out onto your shaping surface. Roll it up tightly like a burrito and place it in a 13”x4” loaf tin. I use a non-stick pullman loaf pan. Grease your pan if it is prone to sticking.
  7. Cover the loaf tin and allow it to rise for an additional 30-60 minutes. It should gain noticeable volume.
  8. Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes.
