Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 3 sticks butter (3/4 lb) of or margarine, equally divided and softened at room temperature
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 packages dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1-1/2 cups milk, warmed to 80of to 90of (27oc to 32oc)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water

Directions:

  1. Sprinkle 3 Tbsp flour over butter and blend together on the work surface. On a length of foil, fashion a 6 square of soft butter; fold over the sides of the foil to enclose. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 2 to 3 hours.
  2. While the butter is chilling, prepare the dough. To mix by hand, in a large mixing or mixer bowl, blend 2 cups of the flour with salt and sugar. Dissolve yeast in warm water and add it and the warmed milk and half-and-half to the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or the flat blade of an electric mixer to thoroughly blend the batterlike dough, about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in additional flour, 1/4 cup at a time, to make a soft but not sticky dough (it will stiffen when chilled.) Knead by hand or under a dough hook for 5 minutes to form a solid mass.
  4. If using a food processor, attach the steel blade. Place 2 cups flour in the work bowl and add the dry ingredients. Pulse to mix. Pour the 1/4 cup water, milk, and half-and-half through the feed tube. Pulse once or twice to be certain that all dry ingredients are moistened. Add the balance of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, turning the machine on briefly after each addition. When the mixture forms a mass and begins to clean the sides of the bowl, knead for 30 seconds. Don't overknead!
