butter

🥗Healthier: margarine

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

Margarine can be lower in saturated fat, while shortening is often cheaper.

Measure 525 grams (3.5 cups) of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of instant dry yeast directly into the mixing bowl with the flour.

Combine 250 ml (1 cup) of warm water and 125 ml (0.5 cup) of 2% milk, then add to the mixing bowl.

Mix the ingredients together until there is no more dry flour visible.

Let the dough sit for 3 to 30 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate (this is called autolyse).

After the resting period, add 1.25 teaspoons of salt and 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of butter to the dough.

Mix the dough again until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl but still sticks to the bottom.

Adjust the dough consistency by adding more flour if necessary to achieve a clean ball that pulls away from the sides.
