Instructions

1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir briefly and let stand until foamy and fragrant, about 5–10 minutes. If the mixture does not foam, the yeast is inactive — start over with fresh yeast.
2
Add the warmed milk, remaining 3 tbsp sugar, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until combined, about 1 minute.
