2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, or until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 2 eggs, sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture.
Gradually add 3 cups of flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
