  • 225 ml (7 fl oz) lukewarm water
  • 75 ml (2½ fl oz) milk
  • 25 g (1 oz) melted butter
  • 2 tsp dried yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Add the yeast to the water, mix and leave for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate.
  2. Place the flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.
  3. Add the yeast/water, milk and butter. Mix to a soft dough.
  4. Knead the dough for 10 minutes to make it smooth and elastic.
