Ingredients

  • 1 cup lukewarm milk
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • cup All purpose flour

How to Make?

  • Heat milk for a while and add sugar and water to it.
  • Dissolve yeast in the milk mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Use a stand mixer’s medium-sized bowl and add flour, salt, and oil.
