Activate the Yeast: Combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle yeast over the mixture. Wait 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy, signaling the yeast is ready.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour and salt together to evenly distribute the salt for balanced flavor.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough starts forming.

Knead the Dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if it’s too sticky.

First Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.

Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough, then shape it into a loaf or rolls, depending on your preference.

Second Rise: Let the shaped dough rise for 30-45 minutes in a greased pan or on a baking sheet until puffed up.

Bake the Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Cool and Enjoy: Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
