Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the lukewarm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 15 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy and starts expanding.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt and the egg.

Step 4

Add the activated yeast mixture and the yogurt-egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir everything together until it forms a loose, sticky dough. (If the dough is too dry, add a little bit of milk or water. If it is too soft, add just a little bit of flour.)

Step 5

Gently fold the dough into a rough ball, then cover the bowl tightly with cling wrap and a tea towel and place in a warm spot to proof for 2 hours. (It should roughly double in size.)

Step 6

Use the dough immediately, or store in your fridge for up to 4 days (or your freezer for longer.)
