Ingredients

16 servings

For the dough

¼ cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
1 tsp granulated sugar, for proofing
¾ cup whole milk, warmed to about 100°f (38°c)
Ingredient note
Plain whole milk has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid whole milk, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp fine salt
1 large egg, room temperature
4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
Ingredient notes
Butter is almost all fat and has no fiber, so the small amount here (about 3/4 teaspoon per serving) leaves very little residue. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir briefly and let stand until foamy and fragrant, about 5–10 minutes. If the mixture does not foam, the yeast is inactive — start over with fresh yeast.
2
Add the warmed milk, remaining 3 tbsp sugar, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until combined, about 1 minute.
