Ingredients
For the Bread
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 large eggs
For the Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Food Coloring optional
Instructions
- Warm the milk to about 110°F. Stir in the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter, eggs, and yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape it into balls.
- Whip the topping ingredients together until a light and fluffy paste forms. Divide the topping into 12 even pieces.
- Flatten each topping piece using your hands or roll them out between parchment paper to create circles. Drape over the dough balls. Score the topping to make a clamshell design or other design.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and allow the dough balls to rise, covered for about 15 minutes while it preheats. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
