2 Cups warm water (110-115 oF)
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk (instant)
2 Tbs dry yeast
¼ cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
5-51/2 cups flour
In a large bowl, combine water, and milk powder and stir until dissolved. Add yeast, then sugar, salt, butter, egg, and 2 cups of flour. Mix on low speed until ingredients are wet, then mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add 2 more cups of flour, mix until wet on low speed, then mix 2 minutes on medium speed. By now the dough will be getting stiff and may need to be done by hand. Add another ½ cup of flour and mix again. The dough should be soft, not overly sticky, and not stiff. Cover the dough and bowl with oil to prevent drying out while rising. Cover with plastic and allow to rise until doubled in size. Roll the dough out onto a floured surface and cut into desired shape and size;. Place on a greased baking pan and let rise in warm place until doubled in size. Bake at 375 oF for 15-20 minutes.
