Add the milk, the water yeast mix, the yogurt and egg into the flour. Mix with the paddle attachment until everything combines and a somewhat sticky dough is formed. Allow to rest covered for 5 minutes and then knead with the dough hook until it looks a bit shiny. It will still be somewhat sticky, but don't be tempted to add more flour.

Cover the bowl with a piece of cling film and set aside in a warm, draught-free place for an hour or until the dough doubles or if using the next day, refrigerate until you need it.
