• Warm water - 150 ml
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Yeast - 5 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Baking powder - 5 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
3. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 10 minutes.

5. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions.
6. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 30 cm long, and twist them together to form a braid.
