1. To prepare the dough, mix sugar, yeast, and warm water. Stir well and let sit for 5–10 minutes. Then add melted butter (you can use vegetable oil instead), egg, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the pre-sifted flour, kneading the dough. You should end up with a fairly dense ball that doesn't stick to your hands. Let it rise in a warm place for 30–40 minutes. You can also add dried herbs to the cheese dough recipe.
