3 1/2 cups flour

1 cup warm milk

1 pinch of salt

1/2 cup sugar + 1 Tbsp

1/4 oz yeast

12 1/2 Tbsp soft butter

5 Tbsp orange blossom water or rum

Instructions

 

1 - In a bowl, mix together the yeast with half of the milk and 1 Tbsp sugar. Set aside.

 

2 - In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the sugar, the eggs, the other half of the milk, the orange blossom water (or rum), and the salt.

​

3 - Add the flour and the yeast with the milk. 

​

4 - With the hook attachment, knead the dough for a few minutes until it forms a soft ball.

 

5 - Add the soften butter and knead until the butter is well absorbed. The dough will be soft and sticky.
