Begin by activating the yeast. If using fresh yeast, dissolve it in warm water with the sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. If using instant yeast, you can skip this step and simply mix the yeast directly with the flour later on.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in the yeast mixture, warm milk, one whole egg, and the softened butter. Mix the ingredients together using your hands or a dough hook until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If needed, add a little extra flour.
Once kneaded, place the dough into a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for 50-60 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
