Hi! You must make it and try it, it is really tasty!
what measurements for salt and sugar? and what about the yeast? shouldn’t it be stirred into lukewarm water first?
Hello! Sugar-1 tsp, Salt-2 tsp. Actually I used Instant Yeast, meaning that it doesn’t need to be dissolved and can be mixed in with the dry ingredients. You can use regular yeast too and dissolve it with sugar and water.
