Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the lukewarm milk, sugar, and yeast together. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

  • To the milk mixture, add water, eggs, oil, salt, and flour. The dough will be runny and sticky and that's exactly what you want. Knead it by hand (wet your hands to prevent sticking) or with a stand mixer until the dough turns elastic.

  • Fold over the sides and pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside the dough. Once it's sealed tight, shape the dough into a long oval shape.
