4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons dry milk powder

1 teaspoon table salt

2/3 cup milk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg, beaten

Icing

 

1 cup powdered sugar

4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

Instructions:

 

1️⃣ In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar and yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

2️⃣ In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, dry milk powder, and salt. Add milk, melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture; stir until dough forms.

3️⃣ Knead the dough for 10 minutes on a floured surface, or 5 minutes in a stand mixer until smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky, adding flour as needed.

4️⃣ Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/4 hours until doubled.

5️⃣ Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl for the filling. Dip each dough ball (1-inch pieces) into melted butter, then coat in graham cracker-sugar mixture.
