Directions
   Add 1 tbsp sugar and yeast to the warm water and mix together. Keep it aside for 10 minutes. Mix together the flour, remaining sugar and salt. Add the flour to the yeast mixture and knead for 2 minutes to form a smooth dough. You may need to add more water or flour to adjust the dough. Continue kneading for 10-12 minutes. keep the dough covered a with a plastic wrap and rest in a warm place for 1 hour. Dough will rise
to about double the original size. Add light coat of butter in a baking sheet and apply flour on top of that. Punch down the dough and knead couple of times. Make large sized balls and keep it in the baking sheet so that each ball just touch each other. Leave the pan covered for 30-45 minutes, dough will rise again and the gaps between the balls would be covered mostly.
