Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-fat 1% milk warmed
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Light

  • 3 cups bread flour

Instructions

  • Whisk together warm milk, yeast and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl). Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
