DOUGH:
- Melt 1/2 Cup of butter in 1/2 cup milk. Let cool till lukewarm.
- Dissolve 1 packet of rapid rise yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir into yeast mixture 1/4 C sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 egg slightly beaten.
- Add milk and butter mixture to yeast mixture.
- Stir in 3 /12 - 4 1/2 cups flour. You'll know when you have enough flour because the bread mixture isn't sticky any more and the sides of the mixing bowl are clean.
- Set aside and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). If your kitchen isn't warm, you can pre-heat the oven to warm. Turn the oven off and set the bowl inside.
