Sorry, because I deal in many size portions it is easier for me to work in percentages.

Here is the formula in metrics

Flour 1000 g or 1 K
Milk 230 g
Water 380 g
Sugar 130 g
Salt 20 g
Yeast 12 g
Dry Malt 5 g
Butter 5 g
Dough Weight 1.817 K

Butter for roll-in 454 g

Hope this helps
If not I can reconvert.
