Whisk the milk, sugar and yeast together in a large bowl and let it activate for five minutes or until it starts to bubble.
Add the butter and salt and whisk again then gradually stir in 2 1/2 cups of the flour and stir until you can no longer stir then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for five minutes.
Scrape out any remaining dough from the bowl then spray it with some non-stick spray or brush it with some olive oil before tucking the edges of the dough together and placing it inside the bowl.
Spray the top of the dough then cover and let the dough rise for about 2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.
