Ingredients
- 2¼ teaspoons yeast, active dry
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup sour cream, room temperature
- 3 cups bread flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, room temperature and cubed
Preparation
- 1. In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, dissolve 1 packet yeast and 2 tablespoons sugar in ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- 2. Once foamy, add 2 large eggs and ¼ cup sour cream and whisk well together.
- 3. Insert Dough Blade. Add 3 cups bread flour, ½ teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons sugar to the work bowl. Secure the Cooking Lid with the Steam Cap in place.
- 4. The processor is set to sift for 15 seconds on Speed 6.
- 5. With machine running on Speed 10, remove Steam Cap and slowly pour the yeast mixture through the Steam Vent until all ingredients are combined.
- 6. With machine running again on Speed 10, add the ¼ cup cubed butter, a little at a time so that each piece is incorporated before adding the next. (con't)
- 7. Continue to process until dough is smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- 8. Dough will be sticky but should not be greasy. If greasy, process for an additional minute.
- 9. Tip: Use this dough to create your own cinnamon rolls! Roll out dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle with ½ inch thickness. Coat with melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon sugar leaving a half inch border. (con't)
