Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 2 Eggs, large
  • 3 cup Bread flour + 2 Tablespoon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 tablespoon Butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 3 teaspoon Red star active dry yeast
  • 1/8 cup Wheat germ

Directions
  1. 1
    Warm the milk to approximately 110ðF (43ðC) and pour it into a large mixing bowl.

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. 7
    Punch down the dough to release air bubbles and shape it into a loaf or rolls.
  8. 8
    Place the shaped dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes until nearly doubled.

    Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
