- 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp salt

- In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients along with milk and melted butter. Stir until combined; the dough will be sticky.

- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about one hour or until doubled in size.
