STEP 1

Combine warm milk and water in bowl; add yeast. Stir to dissolve. Stir in 2 3/4 cups flour, sugar, butter, egg and 1 teaspoon salt until soft dough forms.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead dough, adding additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary, 5-10 minutes or until dough is smooth. Place dough into greased bowl; turn greased-side up. Cover; let rise 45-60 minutes or until double in size.

STEP 3

Knead dough 30 seconds on lightly floured surface. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Twist each section of dough, turning it on side to form ring. Cover; let rise 30-45 minutes or until double in size.
