Ingredients

8 servings

For the dough

2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
1 tsp granulated sugar
¾ cup whole milk, warmed to 110°f (43°c)
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
Ingredient note
Eggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

For the garlic herb butter

4 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Oregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about a pinch per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, 1 tsp sugar, and yeast. Stir briefly and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.
2
Add the flour, salt, 2 tbsp sugar, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until a shaggy dough forms, about 2 minutes. Increase to medium speed and knead for 5 minutes, then add the softened butter one tablespoon at a time, waiting until each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue kneading on medium speed for 4–5 minutes more, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
