- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 large egg
- Half a cup of melted butter
- In a bowl, add yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar and warm milk (it should not be hot, it will kill the yeast) mix and cover for about 5-7 minutes to flourish.
- In the yeast mixture, add the egg, melted butter, flour, salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar then mix well.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth.
