Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. 1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine 10g of dry yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 100ml of warm water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy. This means the yeast is activated and ready to use.

1. 1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of warm milk, 100ml of oil, 1 egg white (reserve the yolk for later), 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
   2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 5.5 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt into the wet mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or using your hands. Mix until a soft dough begins to form.
   3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft, and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s manageable but still soft.

1. Let the Dough Rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
