Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (unbleached)
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (warm)

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, mix warm milk and sugar with the yeast. Let it froth for about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add eggs and softened butter along with the yeast mixture, mixing until shaggy.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape Your Bread: Punch down dough gently, shape it into a loaf or rolls, and place them in greased pans for their second rise.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush tops with egg wash if desired, then bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
