• 4 when milk mixture has cooled so that it doesn’t feel hot, add some flour (about 2 cups to start). then add the eggs. next add the yeast and more flour enough to make a soft dough – when the dough is no longer sticky that is enough flour.
• 5 let the dough set for about 10 minutes then knead a few times, then grease the top. place clean towel over the bowl letting the dough rise until doubled in size –this will take about 45 to 50 minutes.
