Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the warm water and yeast. Stir briefly and let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

  2. In a stand-up mixer bowl, add in the evaporated milk, water, softened butter, eggs, sugar, salt, lemon extract, and yeast mixture. Mix to combine.

  3. Set the stand-up mixer to stir and slowly add in the flour. Keep adding flour until the dough begins to come off the sides.

  4. Transfer the dough to a clean working station. Lightly dust it with flour and hand knead the dough for 5 minutes. If it becomes sticky, dust on more flour. The dough should feel soft and bouncy.

  5. In a large bowl, lightly grease it and add in the dough. Cover it and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour.
