Prep & Rise

2. 2In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour. Increase to medium speed and knead until the dough is tacky and very elastic, 10–15 minutes, adding additional flour 1 tbsp at a time if the dough is very sticky.1 ½ oz Unsalted Butter·1 ¾ tsp Sea Salt·13 ⅜ oz Bread Flour

4. 4Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
5. 5Once doubled, weigh the dough and divide into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into an 8-inch log and arrange on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1½ hours.
