Ingredients
Dough:
-
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
-
¼ cup warm water
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup milk
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Egg Wash:
-
1 large egg, whisked
Instructions
-
Activate the Yeast: Add the yeast to a bowl with the warm water. Let the yeast sit in the warm water for about 3 to 5 minutes until frothy.
-
Mix the Dough: Once the yeast has activated, add in the flour, sugar, milk, butter, and salt. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture becomes slightly flaky.
-
Knead: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough until it is smooth, then shape it into a cohesive ball.
-
Rest and Rise: Place the ball of dough into the air fryer basket, and then cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest until it doubles in size, which should take about 30 minutes.
