Step 1: Activate the yeast

Dough

  • Whole milk, warmed
    90 g
  • Eggs, beaten
    2~110 g
  • Sugar
    15 g
  • Instant yeast
    5 g

Warm the milk in the microwave to roughly ~100°F/37°C, usually about 20-30 seconds. Add the beaten eggs, sugar, and instant dry yeast to the warm milk. Stir to combine. Set aside and let the yeast activate for 5-10 minutes.

  • Note: Proofing is done to test the viability of the yeast. If there is no foam surface or little bubbles the yeast is likely dead and should be discarded.
