2. Heat milk in a glass measuring cup, in the microwave with the butter. Do not let this boil. stir to melt the butter.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, slowly. Mix on low speed to combine.
4. Turn the mixing speed up to medium to knead the dough for 8-10 minutes.
5. Add a bit more flour to the dough a little at a time, if dough is too sticky. It should not be sticking to the sides.
6. Spray a bowl with cooking spray and set the dough in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for about an hour. The dough needs to double in size. 
7. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Place oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.

13. Place on baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with flaky salt or pretzel salt. Repeat.
