1 tsp honey
1 tbsp salted butter
2 ¼ tsp yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup warm milk
1 egg (beaten at room temperature)

Slowly mix flour with honey, butter and yeast. Add water, milk and egg.
Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, scraping down the bowl frequently. Place dough on a lightly floured surface.
