Instructions
Prepare the dough Whisk the warm milk yeast and 1 Tablespoon sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. Loosely cover and allow to sit for 510 minutes until foamy and frothy on top. If you do not own a stand mixer you can do this in a large mixing bowl and in the next step mix the dough together with a large wooden spoonsilicone spatula. It will take a bit of arm muscle. A hand mixer works but the sticky dough repeatedly gets stuck in the beaters. Mixing by hand with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula is a better choice.
