1 package active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water, 105 to 115 F 1/2 cup lukewarm milk, * see note 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup butter, softened 1 teaspoon salt 1 egg 4 cups purpose flour, (3 to 4 cups)

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in milk, sugar, butter, salt, egg and 2 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up.

Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 1/2 hours. (Dough is ready if an indentation remains when touched.) Punch down dough. Shape, let rise and bake as directed.
