Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble the yeast and mix with 1 tablespoon sugar and a little milk. Pour into the well, dust with flour, and let rise for 15 minutes. Add salt, remaining milk, sugar, butter, and eggs; knead into a smooth dough. If too wet, add more flour; if too dry, add more lukewarm milk. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
