Method:

• Proof the yeast in luke warm water and sugar. Put it aside for 10-12 minutes. 
• Take flour and add rest of the dry ingredients. 
• Once yeast mixture is ready, add to the flour mixture. Start kneading the dough with luke warm milk and add vegetable oil for kneading. 
• Knead for around 10-12 minutes.
