1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Stir in the active dry yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
