Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast; mix well and let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 cups of flour, mixing on low for 2 minutes until well combined.
Incorporate an additional 3½ cups of flour and mix on low. Add more flour if needed until the dough pulls away from the bowl. Knead on low for 3 more minutes.
Once the dough has doubled, turn it out onto a floured surface and form a small rectangle. Roll the dough into a 24" x 12" rectangle, approximately 1/2" thick.

Notes

Feel free to use your favorite apple varieties for added flavor.
Make sure the water is just warm to activate the yeast without killing it.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm area for the best results.
