Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 45°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for greasing and brushing)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1/4 cup water (adjust if needed)
- 1/4 cup cold, unsalted butter (for layering)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and stir gently to dissolve. Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast becomes foamy and active. If it doesn’t foam, your yeast may be inactive, and it’s best to start with a fresh batch.
2. Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to the flour along with the melted butter and water. Stir everything together until it begins to form a dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it’s manageable.
- Once the dough is kneaded, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
3. Roll and Layer the Dough:
- After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Take the cold butter and slice it into thin pats. Evenly place the butter over the surface of the rolled-out dough. Fold the dough over the butter, then roll it up like a jelly roll. Pinch the seams to seal the butter inside.
