Gently heat over medium low until warm to the touch (or temperature reaches 110\u00b0F on a thermometer). While heating up, whisk eggs in a medium-large bowl. Once milk mix is heated up, remove pan from heat and slowly pour the hot milk into the whisked eggs, whisking the entire time. Set aside.", "2. In the bowl of a stand mixer (with a paddle attachment), add your flour and yeast. While mixer is on low speed, slowly pour in your milk/egg mix. Continue to mix on low until the dough is completely incorporated and starts to pull away from the bowl, about 5 minutes. Stop and scrape down sides of bowl as needed.", "3. Next, remove the paddle attachment, switch to the dough hook and knead the dough in the mixer on low speed for about 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle dough with more flour (tablespoon at a time) if necessary, to keep dough from sticking to the sides. Knead until dough stops sticking to the sides of bowl, is smooth, and springs back when pressed with your finger.", "4. Remove dough from mixer bowl and add it into another lightly greased bowl.
