Start by preheating your oven to 200°F.
Take the 2 eggs from your refrigerator and place them into a bowl of warm water. Let them warm up for 5 minutes to bring them to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, add your warm milk, 1 tbsp of sugar, and yeast. Stir this mixture with a fork or a whisk. Allow this to sit for 5-10 minutes, at which point your yeast should be bubbling or growing in size. If it’s not, throw this mixture out and start again.
Next, pour your yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter into a stand mixer, or if you don’t have one you can whisk it by hand.
Mix this until it’s combined, and then add half of the flour.
Next, add in the remainder of the sugar and the salt. When this is mixed you can add the remainder of the flour. Keep mixing until this is well incorporated.
Lightly flour a surface to work on with your dough, and use this to knead the dough for 5-7 minutes. You can knead the dough using the “taco method”, meaning fold it over, press together, fold it over, press together, etc.
When your ball of dough is nice and smooth, put 2 tbsp of olive oil in the bottom of a large bowl and place the ball of dough inside. Cover the top of the bowl and allow it to rise in a warm area for about an hour.
Come back in an hour when it has risen.
After the dough has risen for an hour, punch it down.
Again, turn it onto your lightly flowered surface and knead for another 1-2 minutes.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a large rectangle. This should be about 20 inches long.
