Add softened butter in; continue kneading for another 7 to 10 minutes until you get a smooth, elastic and soft dough. transfer the dough out to a slightly floured board after 5 minutes and smash it against the operating board, grab it up and smash again. Repeat this process for 2-3 minutes and shape into a round ball. This can help to strong the gluten. Place in a large bowl and cover with a plastic wrapper and set aside until it is doubled in size. If you need help for this process, check milk bread.
