Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a muffin tin for baking by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray, or tossing a small pat of butter into the bottom of each cup. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix yeast in 1/4 cup warm water until dissolved. Add the sugar. Whisk, in the salt and eggs. Beat in milk and remaining water until well-mixed.

Use a wooden spoon to stir in about 2 1/2 cups of flour, adding more (up to 3 cups) as necessary to make a soft dough. You want to be able to knead the dough and not have it stick to your fingers, but still have the dough be soft and pillowy. Less is definitely more here.

Knead dough a few times. Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness and spread with a thin layer of butter (it should be about 2 tablespoons). Fold dough in half, then spread with butter. Repeat this 4 more times.

Once you've finished buttering, roll into 1/2 inch thickness and cut dough into 1×1 inch squares. Place 3-4 squares upright in each non-stick sprayed muffin tin. Let rise about 45-60 minutes, or until well risen.

Bake in middle rack at 400° F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
