Ingredients
- 1½ cups Warm Milk
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Salt
- ¼ cup Honey
- 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 4 tbsp Butter
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Increase the speed slightly and add your butter. Mix for 15 minutes. The dough should be pulling away from the sides of the bowl.
- 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.
- Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise for +/- 2 hours. The dough should double in size.
- 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.
- Cover the loaf tin and allow it to rise for an additional 30-60 minutes. It should gain noticeable volume.
- Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes.
