Warm 2 cups of milk in the microwave until warm to the touch, about 1.5 minutes.

Add 1 stick of butter to the warm milk to soften it.

Pour the warm milk and butter mixture into a mixing bowl.

Add 2 packets (2 tablespoons) of rapid rise instant yeast to the mixture.

Add 1/4 cup of sugar to help activate the yeast.

Add 1 egg to the mixture.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the bowl.

Gradually add 4 to 5 cups of all-purpose flour, starting with 2 cups at a time, mixing well after each addition.

After adding 4 cups of flour, assess the dough's consistency and add more flour as needed, up to 5 cups total.

Mix the dough on low speed for about 1.5 to 2 minutes after each addition of flour until it starts to pull together.

Check the dough for stickiness; if it feels sticky, add more flour gradually until it holds together well.

Once the dough is mixed, let it rise in the bowl for 1.5 to 2 hours, covering it with a clean towel or plastic wrap.

After rising, check if the dough has doubled in size.
