Sweet Sourdough Master Dough

MIX THE DOUGH

1. Melt together:

1.5 cups grass-fed milk

1/4-1/2 cup raw, organic sugar depending on how sweet you want the dough

3 Tbsp grass-fed butter

2. Pour into mixing bowl and add 2 pasture-raised eggs (make sure the liquid isn't to0 hot, you don't want to scramble your eggs)

3. Add 1 cup of sourdough starter

4. Start adding flour 1 cup at a time (you'll need around 4 cups total, but it depends on how big your eggs are, how much sugar you used, and how thin your starter is)

5. When the dough is somewhat shaggy let it rest 10 minutes, then add 1 tsp salt

6. Add more flour as needed until the dough can be handled - it shouldn't be a sticky mess but it also shouldn't feel dense, it will be a soft dough
