STEP 1.In a large measuring cup, combine warm water dry instant yeast and sugar and keep it in a warm place until it gets frothy.
STEP 2.In a large mixing bowl add plain flour ,salt, milk and olive oil, you can add other vegetable oil also. Add frothy yeast mixture also.
STEP 3.Knead by hand 4 min. Dough should be soft and sticky to the touch but won't stick to clean fingertips. If dough is too sticky, add flour 1 Tbsp at a time
STEP 4.Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise at room temp for 4 hours. Every hour, punch down dough with wet hand and fold it onto itself a few times.
STEP 5.After the 4 hours of rising time, punch down dough one last time and pinch it in the center to divide into two even pieces. Generously dust 2 pieces of parchment paper with flour. Place dough on parchment, turning it to coat in flour. Poke a hole in the center of each the dough piece and stretch dough into a ring 5-6" diameter in the center and 9-10" diameter on the outside. Let the rings rest on parchment at room temp 30 min.
STEP 6.Sprinkle the top of dough ring with flour. Holding scissors at a 45˚ angle to the parchment paper, cut deep slits into the dough about 1 1/2" apart, pulling the points away from the ring as you cut them. Rotate the parchment paper as you slice to maintain correct cutting angle.
STEP 7.Transfer 1 ring (with the parchment paper) to the preheated oven onto the hot baking sheet . Bake at 450˚F for 20 min or until top is golden brown. Repeat step 7 with second ring.
