Dissolve the yeast and the sugar in the lukewarm milk and leave about 10 minutes, until the mixture foams.
💡If the mixture doesn't foam in that time, the yeast is no longer active, or the water was too hot. Start over with fresh yeast and body-temperature water.

Add the yeast mixture and some of the butter and Knead about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth.
⚙ KneadingBowlStand mixer
💡For yeast dough, use the windowpane test: a small piece stretches into a thin, translucent sheet without tearing, and that's the sign the kneading is done. Add flour only by the tablespoon, and only if the dough is still sticky after a few minutes: too much flour makes a tough dough.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle and fold it lengthwise. Place on a baking sheet.
⚙ Rolling Out DoughRolling pinBaking panBaking sheet
💡Roll from the center outward and give the dough a quarter turn between rolls: this keeps it even in thickness and stops it sticking to the counter. If it springs back, cover for 10–15 minutes and try again.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) and bake 50 minutes.
