Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm water (200ml)
• 1 tbsp yeast (10 grams)
• 4 tsp sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (60ml)
• 1 cup warm milk (200ml)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 5 cups flour (600 grams)
• 100 grams butter, divided into 8 pieces

Equipment Needed:

• Mixing bowl
• Spoon
• Cast iron skillet (or any other skillet)
• Toothpick

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare Yeast Mixture:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, and vegetable oil.
   • Stir all the ingredients together.
   • Cover the bowl and let the yeast mixture sit for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare Milk Mixture:
   • Take warm milk and add salt to it.
   • Stir to combine.
   • Once the yeast mixture is ready, pour it into the milk mixture and stir well.
3. Prepare Dough:
   • Sift the flour into the milk and yeast mixture.
   • Stir the dough with a spoon until it starts to come together.
   • If the dough sticks to your hands, gradually add a little more flour until it reaches a soft texture.
4. Let the Dough Rise:
   • Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it stand for at least 45 minutes, allowing it to rise.
5. Divide and Assemble:
   • After 45 minutes, the dough will have risen significantly.
   • Sprinkle the countertop with flour to prevent sticking.
   • Transfer the dough onto the floured surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
   • Take each piece and shape it into a ball.
   • Divide the softened butter into 8 pieces.
   • Place one piece of butter on top of each dough ball.
6. Assembly:
   • Using your hands, gently work with the dough.
   • Stack two balls of dough (each containing a piece of butter) on top of each other.
   • Place a third ball of dough (without butter) on top of the stack.
   • Press the balls together to form a single ball, ensuring the butter is enclosed within the layers.
   • Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls.
7. Cooking:
   • Preheat a cast iron skillet (or any other skillet) over medium heat.
   • Place the assembled dough balls onto the skillet.
   • Cook each side for approximately three minutes, or until golden brown.
   • To ensure the bread is cooked through, use a toothpick to release any trapped air and check for doneness.
   • Be careful not to burn the bread; adjust the heat if necessary.
8. Serve:
   • Once both sides of the bread are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet.
   • Serve warm with butter for a delicious breakfast treat.
