Sweet Roll Dough
To begin, scald the milk in a pan over medium low heat. Once you see bubbles forming on the bottom of the pan remove from heat. Add the milk to a small bowl and cool to between 105 and 115 degrees. Add the yeast to warm milk and stir to combine. Once the yeast has dissolved add the salt and butter and stir until melted.[/et_pb_text][el_masonry_gallery image_ids=”929,928,927″ number_of_columns=”3″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][/el_masonry_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]In a large bowl, slightly beat the eggs and then add the sugar, mixing to combine.[/et_pb_text][el_masonry_gallery image_ids=”926,924,923″ number_of_columns=”3″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][/el_masonry_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Next, add 1 cup of flour and mix well.
