Step 1

1. Put the flour into a bowl and create a well in the center. Add the dry yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and 2–3 tbsp of the lukewarm milk into the well. Stir lightly and let it rest for about 10 minutes until it starts to bubble.

2. Add the remaining milk, sugar, salt, soft butter, and egg. Knead into a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
