• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp salt

Steps

1. Mix sugar, salt, and yeast into a little warm milk. Let stand for a few minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the yeast mixture into the flour.
3. Add the warm water, and knead the dough until it doesn't stick to your fingers.
4. Cover dough with a cloth, and put it in warm place (for instance near a heater) until doubled in size.
