Bug bread <333

My boyfriend is having a hard time with testing, so i decided to make him a treat, as well as some for some of my friends.

Some closer images

- Recipe below

- ingredients

- 2¼ tsp of quick rise yeast

- 1 cup of water (110° F)

- 1 tsp of sugar

- 3 cups of cake flour (you can add more)

- ½ tsp of sea salt

- ¼ cup of milk

- 1 tbsp of butter (melted)

- instructions

First, you should put the water, sugar, and yeast in your stand mixer and wait 10 minutes for the yeast to do its thing

Once the 10 minutes are up, add the flour and salt (combined) to the "yeast water". Turn on your stand mixer to the stir setting or the lowest setting. Let the flour mixture and yeast mixture stir together until mostly combined, then pour the butter and milk in slowly.

Let everything combine and use a spatula to help get uncombined ingredients off of the sides of the bowl. Once everything is combined, check how sticky the dough is, if it sticks to your skin with a light touch, add more flour gradually until it doesn't immediately stick to your skin.

Once everything is combined and in one piece, put in a bowl and cover with a clean towel, then place the bowl in a dark, warm place for 30 minutes (I used my microwave)

After the 30 minutes, you're done, you are free to make your bug bread :]

(The bugs should bake for around 12 minutes)
