The Hedonist Cook

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups of flour and the yeast.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, heat milk, water, oil, sugar, and salt until just lukewarm (not hot).
3. Add the warm liquid to the flour mixture and beat until smooth—about 3 minutes.
4. Gradually add 2–3 more cups of flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Dust a clean surface with flour, turn the dough out, and let it rest under an overturned bowl for about 10 minutes.
6. Divide dough into 12 portions, shape into slightly flattened balls, and place on a greased baking sheet.
7. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled in size (about 30–45 minutes, depending on room temp).
8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 12–15 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
9. Let cool slightly before slicing or serving.
