Ingredients
Method
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Add the shortening, warm milk, and warm water.
- Mix and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms, about 2–3 minutes in a stand mixer or 10–12 minutes by hand.
- Place the dough in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a clean, damp towel. Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough, then divide it into two equal pieces.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees
- On a lightly oiled surface, roll each piece of dough into a rough circle. It doesn’t need to be perfect.
- Brush each piece of rolled dough with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Starting at one edge, slowly roll each piece of dough into a tight log. Some of the butter may gather at the end as you roll, and that’s fine.
- Place the loaves seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover the loaves with a clean towel and let them rise for about 20 minutes while the oven preheats to 350°F.
- Brush the tops of the loaves with the remaining melted butter.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and the center reaches 190–200°F.
Nutrition
Notes
