Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let it sit until foamy (about 5 minutes). Add melted butter, then gradually mix in flour and salt until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm area for approximately 1 hour.
