Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes. Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm milk with the sugar and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy before adding the other ingredients.
Q: Can I use a different type of flour?
A: Yes. You can use bread flour for a chewier texture, or whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor. If using whole wheat, you may need to add a little extra milk.
