Ingredients

12 servings

For the dough

1 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp granulated sugar
¾ cup warm whole milk (about 110°f / 43°c)
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cake flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil), plus more for brushing

Instructions

1
Combine the yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and warm milk in a small bowl and stir to dissolve. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.
2
Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, 2 tbsp sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl). Add the yeast mixture and 1 tbsp neutral oil, then mix on low speed with the dough hook until a shaggy dough forms, about 1 minute.
