  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ⅓ cup milk warm
  • 1 egg yolk for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  • Gradually knead in softened butter, one piece at a time, until smooth and elastic.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
