Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until just combined.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Roll out dough into a circle about ¼ inch thick and cut into wedges. Roll each wedge tightly from the wide end to the point.
  6. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets with points tucked underneath. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
