1. Preheat your oven to 350oF.

2. Pour the warm water into a large bowl, and sprinkle it with the yeast. Let the mixture stand a few minutes; then stir to dissolve the yeast.

3. Add the milk, 2 eggs, melted butter, olive oil, sugar, salt and baking powder and blend well. Stir in the flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough is formed.

4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3 or 4 minutes, or until smooth. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it over to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise about 2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
