Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the sweet starter and let rest at room temperature for 4 hours.
- Once the sweet starter is ready, mix it with bread flour, milk, butter, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and eggs. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 1 hour, then place it in the fridge for 1 hour to chill.
