Ingredients:
Bread Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup warm milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten

Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add in the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
