Directions

    ["First we will put our milk and our water into a microwave safe container, and microwave it until the temperature reaches around 105 to 115 degrees F. We are doing this because the yeast needs warm liquid to activate it.", "Next we will add our warm liquid to a large bowl and add about 1 tsp of our sugar to the liquid. This will provide a bit of food for the yeast. Then add your yeast and use a fork or whisk to mix it a bit. Then set the yeast mixture aside for 5 to 10 minutes and let it do its thing. (This is called Proofing the Yeast).", "While the yeast is proofing, we will mix our salt with our flour.", "Next we need to melt our butter. I just melted mine in the microwave for about 20 seconds.", "Notice the first picture, how much the yeast has grown. This is what we want to see, this is how we know the yeast is alive and thriving. Now add the melted butter and rest of your sugar and mix together with a whisk or fork.", "Now add the egg and mix together completely.", "Now we add our flour little by little, I continue to use my whisk for the first cup of flour or so, then I switch to a wooden spoon. You can certainly use a stand mixer to make your dough, but if you don't have a mixer, you can do it all by hand like me. Continue to add the flour, about 80% or so of it, until you get a nice tacky dough, then add a bit more of the flour and kneed it a little bit in the bowl until it gets the access flour of the sides, etc. Then take the down out and put it on the counter with your remaining flour.", "Next we need to knead the dough. \"Kneading the dough makes bread and rolls light
