Method
- For the dough, place yeast, a sprinkle of flour and caster sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a dough hook attachment. Pour warm milk on top and set aside for 5 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble.
- Add in the 50g butter, egg, flour, salt, Italian herbs, paprika, garlic powder and on low speed, knead dough for 3 - 5 minutes until a soft dough comes together. If the dough is sticky, add 1 tbsp of flour extra, this may not be necessary.
- In a warm place, put dough in a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel for 1 - 2 hours or until doubled in size.
