Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt in a bowl. Add the warm milk, the egg and 3 tbsp oil and bring together into a soft dough. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth, then cover and leave somewhere warm for 1 hour until doubled.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan. Cook the onion for 5 minutes, add the cabbage and cook for 15 minutes, stirring, until soft and lightly golden.
