Sweet Dough

This is close to a brioche dough. Most brioche dough recipes will have more butter and eggs. The eggs will usually be whole eggs not just the yolks. You could almost call this a poor man’s brioche

The dough will be slightly sticky to to the touch, but, should be firm and elastic.

I will use this for cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, monkey bread, etc.

Sweet Dough

5 cups of flour

2 cups warm milk

2 tbsp yeast

4 oz Butter (soft or melted)

4 egg yolks

1/4 cup of sugar

1 tsp salt

Place warm milk in a bowl, stir in the sugar, then sprinkle in the yeast. Add the soft butter to the mik and let set until the yeast blooms.

Once the yeast has bloomed, stir in the egg yolks then add the salt to the flour.

Add the flour to the milk, and mix until all the flour is absorbed. Let rest for a minute then knead gently for a minute.

Cover and let rise.

When doubled in size, beat the dough down and kneading just enough to get the air bubbled out of the dough.

Shape to purpose and let rise until about doubled
