Quick Sweet Bread Recipe
1800kcal
Ingredients
- 1 packet of instant dry yeast
- 3 T granulated sugar
- ¾ cup of warm milk
- ¼ cup of unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 ⅓ cup of unbleached all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Method
- Place yeast, sugar, and warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer or a bowl you are using with a hand mixer. Let proof for 5-7 minutes.
- Once proved, add butter, egg, flour, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- The dough will be very soft and sticky. Add a bit of flour to a work surface and turn the dough out. Form dough into a ball and place into a lightly oiled bowl to prove.
- Prove dough in a warm place for 60-90 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
- The dough will be ready to roll out into buns, star bread, roll ups, pockets, or whatever you like!

Notes
- Measurement Tip For the most accurate results, use a kitchen scale to weigh your flour. If using cups, spoon the flour into the cup and level it off rather than scooping directly, which can pack too much flour into the recipe.
- Butter Clarification Please ensure your butter is softened to room temperature so it incorporates easily into the dough without leaving lumps.
- Sweet vs Savory Since this dough has sugar, it leans slightly sweet. If you are making very savory pockets (like ham and cheese), the sweetness provides a nice contrast, similar to a Hawaiian roll.
