Step 2: Add the yeast to another mixing bowl along with 1 tbsp sugar, and warm water. Mix well until just combined and allow it to rise for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Into the bowl of a stand mixer, transfer the yeast and milk mixture. Then, add the eggs, salt, and the remaining sugar. Beat until combined.

Step 9: Then, bake at 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
