1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine wet and dry: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the foamy yeast mixture, melted butter, milk, and beaten egg into the well.
4. Form the dough: Use a spatula or your hand to mix until a soft dough forms.
5. Knead: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
7. Shape: Punch down the dough gently, then shape it into a loaf.
8. Second rise: Place the shaped dough on a floured plate, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Heat the skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add olive oil.
10. Cook: Place the dough in the skillet, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown.
11. Cool: Remove the bread and let it cool slightly on a rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

For extra flavor, consider adding dried herbs or cheese to the dough.
