      2 1/2 cups of AP flour 
      1/2 cup sugar 
      1 tablespoon of salt
      4 teaspoons instant yeast
      4 eggs
      150 ml milk
      2 cups butter

      Combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in mixing bowl with dough hook attachment.

      Add milk and eggs, and mix until dough comes together.

      Add butter in dough—mix well until dough becomes elastic and shiny. Dough shouldn’t stick to the bowl.

      Proof dough until it doubles in size.

      Portion into desired shapes, proof until doubled.

      Bake at 325 F for 10 to 12 minutes. Rotate and bake for 3 more minutes or until golden brown.
