Breakfast Pastries, Breads And Muffins Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt. Mix well.

2. 2

   Heat the Milk

   In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm (not hot). Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Add Butter and Eggs

   Add the butter to the warm milk, stirring until melted. Let it cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.

   Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

   Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.

   Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

   Let the Dough Rise

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

   Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface. Cut into desired shapes (triangles, circles, etc.) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
