Add 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar to a bowl.

Pour in 3 tablespoons of warm water (around 105-110°F) and stir.

Set the yeast mixture aside for about 5 minutes until it foams.

In a measuring cup, combine 1 cup of whole milk and 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

Microwave the milk and butter for 1 to 2 minutes until the butter melts and the mixture is warm (not hot).

Crack 1 egg into a bowl and whisk it.

Remove the milk and butter mixture from the microwave and mix it until the butter is mostly melted.

In a separate bowl, combine 3 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt, stirring to mix.

Make a well in the flour mixture and add the whisked egg, the milk and butter mixture, and the foamy yeast mixture.

Mix the ingredients together until a wet dough forms.

Sprinkle flour on a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, adding flour as needed to prevent stickiness.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a towel to rise until doubled in size.
