- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- ¼ cup warm water (about 110°f / 43°c)
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅓ cup plain whole-milk yogurt

Instructions
- 1
Combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl and stir briefly. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.

Add the yogurt, milk, and oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder, then mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 4–5 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and springs back slowly when poked.
