Method:
- Heat water until it's lukewarm.
- In a bowl, put some yeast, sugar and the lukewarm water and put it aside for the yeast to activate.
- In another bowl, put some all purpose flour, salt, butter (room temperature) and some milk and mix all the ingredients together.
- Once the yeast starts floating on the surface, mix it well and add a little amount of water to the flour.
- Knead into a soft dough by mixing all the ingredients together.
- Dust the work surface with some plain flour and knock the dough on it until the dough stops sticking to your hand.
