• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1. Activate the Yeast:
   In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Prepare the Dough:
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, salt, egg, and milk. Add the yeast mixture and mix well. Gradually add 3 ½ cups of flour and softened butter. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3. Let it Rise:
   Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
