Notes

  • Make sure the milk is not hotter than 115 degrees F. Using hot liquid will kill the yeast.
  • If you don’t have an instant read thermometer, drizzle a few drops of the warmed up milk onto the inside of your wrist. It should feel warm. If it feels hot the yeast will die off, if it feels cold it will remain dormant.
