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.
