Recipe

• 1 combine the milk, butter, honey and 5.8 oz water in a small saucepan. heat over low heat and stir until the butter melts and the honey dissolves. remove and cool to lukewarm (under 110 deg f).

• 3 combine the dry ingredients in a mixer bowl, stirring thoroughly.
• 4 add the wet ingredients to the dry.
• 5 using a dough hook, combine on a low speed (speed 2) and mix for 6 minutes. if the dough seems sticky, add flour until the dough releases from the bottom of the bowl.
• 6 remove the dough from the bowl and knead to shape in into a ball, then place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. cover and let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk about an hour.
• 7 divide the dough into 2 oz portions, shape into balls and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
• 8 with a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a 5 in disk, taking care to keep an even thickness. let the disks rest on the work surface for 2 to 3 minutes, to help them retain their shape (they will want to shrink).
