TIPS TO MAKE SUCCESSFUL MILK BREAD LOAF?
- First make sure that you are using active dry yeast. NOT INSTANT YEAST. If you have to mix the yeast with water, that is the active yeast and proof it.
- Mix the yeast with warm water. and let it bubble for about 5 minutes.
- Make sure that you have non expired yeast. You can test your yeast by mixing it with water and if doesn’t bubble within 5 minutes, it is expired.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place.
