**Instruction:** ***If anyone needs the full recipe with step-by-step instruction, I pinned the video to my profile. Please check it out!***
* Microwave milk 30s to make it warm – Combine 1 tsp sugar + salt + egg + lemon juice + instant yeast => Mix well, and let it sit for 10 mins.
* Combine flour + 1 Tbsp sugar + lemon zest in the bowl. Pour the prepared milk mixture. Mix until it becomes a dough. If the dough is too wet, add 1 Tbsp flour at one time.

* When it’s still warm, coat with granulated sugar (& cinnamon) or enjoy with any favorite flavors (chocolate, matcha,…)
