Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk with yeast and sugar, allowing it to activate.
  2. In another bowl, mix flour and salt, then cut in the butter until crumbly.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and egg to the flour mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Knead the dough, then refrigerate for several hours.
