BASIC SWEET DOUGH

By Tangie2010

Ingredients

• ¾ Cup Milk
• ½ Cup Sugar
• 1 ¼ tsp Salt
• ½ Cup Butter
• 2 Pkgs Active Dry Yeast
• 3 Cup Warm Water (105O to 115O)
• 3 Eggs (Room Temp)
• 5 ½ To 6 ½ Cups Flour

Preparation

Step 1

Combine milk, sugar, salt, and butter in small saucepan. Heat over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed bowl. Add lukewarm milk mixture, eggs, and 5 cups flour.

Attach bowl and dough hook. Turn to speed 2 and mix 2 minutes. Continuing on speed 2, add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl, about 2 minutes. Knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes longer.

Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and shape as desired for rolls or coffeecakes.
