Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine 3/4 cup flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a mixer bowl-set aside.

Step 2

Place the milk, water and butter in a pan and heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is very warm ( approx 130F). Add the warm mixture to the above and and beat, at medium speed, for about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Change the paddle to a dough hook -slowly add the rest of the flour , a small amount at a time, until a very soft, somewhat sticky, smooth dough is formed.

Step 4

Let the dough sit in the bowl for approx 8 minutes-then scoop out the dough, form a ball, and place into a well buttered bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled and bubbly, light( approx 1 hour).

Step 5

Carefully, punch down the dough. Remove from the bowl and cut the dough into 10 pieces.

Step 6

Butter a 9" round cake pan well- place the dough pieces into the pan-cover with plastic wrap ( I usually spray with Pam so that the wrap doesn't stick to the dough). Let the dough rise for 30 minutes or until doubled.
