Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons active-dry yeast (or one package)
- 1 cup (8 oz)  warm water
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (8 oz) milk , whole or 2%
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz.) white sugar
- 1 tablespoon (1/2 oz) salt
- 5 1/2  cups (1 lb 9 oz.) all-purpose flour, plus another 1 cup if needed
- Food coloring (for later)

1. Pour 1 cup of warm water into a bowl (or stand mixer if you plan on using that). Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and let it stand for 5 minutes.

2. While you're waiting for the yeast to dissolve, melt the 2 tbsp butter in a large measuring cup. Add the milk, sugar, and salt. Stir.

3. Measure out 1 cup of flour. Pour the flour and milk mixture over the yeast. Stir. The batter will be very lumpy, (as you can see in my picture).

4. Add the remaining 4 1/2 cups of flour and stir. The dough will be really floury and brittle, which is normal.

5. If you are using your stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead the dough for 8 - 10 minutes. If you are kneading by hand, transfer the dough to the counter and knead away! Knead until a smooth ball can be formed. If the dough is too sticky, you can add the additional flour 1/4 cup at a time.

6. Spray a large bowl with oil. Form the dough into a large ball and coat it with oil by turning it in the bowl. Cover the bowl and set it somewhere warm for about 1 hour (or until it's risen double its size).
