  • In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt and the egg.
    Milk, cream, or nut milk added to your scrambled eggs before cooking makes them creamy and rich.
  • Add the activated yeast and egg mixture to the dry ingredients, then stir with a fork to form a loose, sticky dough. (If the dough is dry, add a bit more milk; if it seems too wet, add more flour.)
  • Gently fold the dough into a rough ball, place in bowl covered with cling wrap or a towel, and place in a warm area of your kitchen to proof for 2 hours (or until roughly doubled in size).
