  • Place flour into a bowl, creating a small hole in the center. Sprinkle salt around the edge and place yeast and sugar into the hole.
  • Mix egg and egg white together in a 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to reach the 1 1/4-cup mark. Stir in milk. Add melted butter. Pour into the center of the flour.
