In a pot, melt the sugar, ghee and milk on low heat until it has all dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool down just a little. In a mixing bowl add the flour and mahleb. Mix and then add the yeast and gradually add the ghee mixture bit by bit until you can start to see the dough forming. If its too sticky then add 12 tbsps more of flour.
