In a heat-safe bowl add the milk and microwave for 15 to 20 sec at 600w to reach about 40℃, then add the melon liqueur (or melon syrup), mix. Pour in the pan. Add yeast in your machine's yeast compartment. Select dough cycle and press start as per manufacturer's instructions.
  • 2. Meanwhile make the cookie dough In a bowl, add unsalted butter and mix with a silicone spatula until it becomes smooth (if the butter is hard or just out from the fridge, then microwave it for 10~15 sec at 600w).
  • 3. Add sugar and mix well until they blend well together.
