      3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
          • Pour the activated yeast mixture into the egg and sugar mixture.

        • Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1-2 hours.
      2. Shape Dough:
          • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into portions according to your recipe or preference.
