It IS easy as long as one understands the basic ratios and learns
how to knead properly. That latter was my downfall starting out.

 ML> flour out of the freezer (it had this slight

It's a smart precaution for bugs to freeze flour (and rice) briefly
(48 hours to a week). But for long term storage you want metal
canisters in a cool dry place.

 ML> sugar (same situation as the flour)

I can't imagine anyone freezing refined sugar though. There's no
point.

    BASIC DOUGH:

      1 c  Warm water
      1 tb Sugar
    1/4 lb Butter
    1/2 c  Sugar
      2 c  Milk, boiling point
      1    Cake yeast
      3    Eggs
    CHEESE DOUGH:
      1    Cake yeast, 1 ounce
      1 lb Dry cottage cheese (kajmak
    If you have)
      1 c  Yellow raisins
      4    Egg yolks
      1 c  Sugar
      1 ts Salt
      1 ts Lemon rind
      1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 c  Milk
      3 c  Flour, sifted

  BASIC DOUGH: Crumble yeast in 1/2 cup water and 1 Tbsp. sugar. Set
  aside for 5 minutes. Pour boiling milk over sugar and butter, add
  balance of water. Cool to lukewarm. Sift flour into bowl, add
  salt, eggs., .milk mixture and yeast. Knead dough until smooth and
  elastic. Cover. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours, in
  a warm place.

  CHEESE DOUGH: Crumble yeast in warm milk to which 1 Tbsp. sugar
  has been added and let stand 5 minutes. Mix cottage cheese with
  spoon until smooth. Add raisins and yeast mixture. Add unbeaten
  egg yolks, remaining sugar, salt, lemon rind, baking powder and
  flour and knead well. Set aside to rise until doubled in bulk,
  about 2 hours.

  When Basic Dough has doubled in size, turn out onto lightly
  floured board and shape into 4 parts. Let stand on board, covered,
  for about 15 minutes. Take 1 part of dough and lightly punch,
  around the edge so that the center is elevated. Take cheese dough
  and place around the elevated center, then lightly make an opening
  in the center. Join edges of center with the outside edges, press
  carefully so the cheese dough is completely covered. Place into 9"
  tube pan and let rise for about 30 minutes. Cover dough to prevent
  drying. Just before placing into oven, brush top with egg yolk.
  Bake for 10 minutes at 325 F., increase temperature to 350 F. and
  bake for 40 minutes.
