Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 2 packets active dry yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, salt, orange zest, and yeast. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the mixture reaches 120°F to 130°F.
  3. Add the warm milk mixture to the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until moistened, then increase to medium for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in remaining flour by hand until a stiff dough forms.
  5. Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 35-50 minutes.

Notes

Ensure the dough is properly risen for best results. You can store leftover pastry rings in an airtight container.
