Ingredient Notes
- Butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter
- Flour - all purpose. Not bread flour and never self rising.
Step by Step Instructions

- Add all but ¼ cup of green onions.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of flour.
- Mix until the dough forms a ball.

- Remove the dough hook and cover the bowl with a dish towel. Allow dough to rise until doubled (20-30 minutes).
