Special equipment needed:
- Stand mixer with dough hook attachment
- 9x13 inch baking dish

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

3. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
