Notes

  • *Milk needs to be at a lukewarm temperature (around 100 Degrees F). If milk is too hot the yeast will die, if milk is cold or at room temp, the yeast will not activate.**You can also make these by hand but the kneading times will be longer***You can proof the dough in the refrigerator overnight and bake the next day
