• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar  
• 3 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs eggs, slightly beaten
• ½ teaspoon baking soda

2. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, combine milk, yeast mixture, butter, salt, sugar and flour. Mix thoroughly with electric mixer until batter is smooth. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight (or about 8 hours.)
4. The next morning, stir beaten eggs and baking soda into the batter; beat well.
