1. 1

   In a large mixing or mixer bowl, stir together yeast, dry milk, sugar, salt, and 2 cups flour. Pour in the hot water and add the butter. Blend for 2 minutes with the flat beater of the mixer. Stir in the balance of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, switching to the dough hook after about 1 additional cup of flour has been added. The dough will be a shaggy mass, elastic, but not sticky; it will clean the sides of the bowl. If it continues to be moist, sprinkle on additional flour.

2. 2

   Place a kitchen towel over the bowl and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
