Instructions

1. Turn oven to 200°F.
2. In a mixer, place yeast with the sugar and pour warm (110°) water over both and gently mix.
3. Wait 10 minutes for yeast to "bloom," it will look slightly foamy.
4. Add in 2 tbsp sugar, eggs and salt.
5. With the paddle attachment or regular beaters mix in the butter.
6. Slowly add in the flour using the dough hook attachment.
