3. In a stand-mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add eggs and the activated yeast. Using a dough hook attachment, mix at low speed until it becomes a homogenous dough..
4. With the mixer running, gradually add chunks of butter down the side of the bowl. Once added completely, mix with the 2nd speed (on Kitchenaid mixer) until the dough is elastic and smooth (8 – 12 minutes). If it sticks to the sides, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time..
