In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. This step ensures your bread will rise properly.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Add the olive oil (or melted butter), salt, and flour gradually. Mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to handle.
Step 3: Knead Until Smooth
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Proper kneading helps create that fluffy texture.
Step 4: Let the Dough Rest
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Divide and Shape
Punch down the dough and divide it into equal balls. Roll each ball into a small circle about ¼-inch thick. Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly round—rustic is part of the charm.
