Ingredients

  • 3 - 3½ cups flour
  • ½ cup milk room temperature
  • ½ cup water room temperature
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Add 3 cups of flour and remaining ingredients to a stand mixer bowl or large bowl if you are kneading by hand.
  • If you are using a stand mixer, affix the dough hook attachment and mix the dough on low speed until just combined. If you are mixing the dough by hand, use a wooden spoon to mix until you reach a wet, shaggy, mostly combined dough.
  • If you are using a stand mixer, up the speed a couple notches and knead the dough until it has mostly pulled away from the side of the bowl mostly and looks smooth, or about 5 minutes.  If you are mixing the dough by hand, dust the counter with flour and turn the dough onto the counter and knead until smooth, about 15 minutes. A bench scraper would be helpful if you are kneading by hand. If the dough is very sticky, add in up to a further 1/2 cup flour as you knead. The dough will be soft.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight before rolling out.
