Ingredients
– 4 cups all-purpose flour Provides the structure and base for the dough

– 1/2 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the pastry
– 2 tsp active dry yeast Leavens the dough for a light texture
– 1 cup warm whole milk Activates yeast and enriches dough
– 1 tsp salt Enhances overall flavor balance

Instructions
1-First, gather and measure your ingredients precisely, like the 4 cups of flour and 1 cup of cold butter, to set up for success.
2-Next, activate the yeast by mixing it with 1 cup of warm milk and letting it sit until frothy, which takes about 5-10 minutes.
3-Then, combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast mixture, egg, and butter in a bowl, kneading gently until smooth.
4-After that, let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours. For dietary adaptations, use gluten-free flour at this stage.
5-Roll out the dough, add fillings like cream cheese, and shape it into an oval before a second rise of 30-45 minutes.
6-Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes until golden, then cool and add toppings.
