Tips & Substitutions
Ensure your milk and water mixture is at the right temperature (105° to 115°F) to activate the yeast effectively. If you're out of active dry yeast, you can substitute with instant yeast, using the same amount. For a more robust flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or molasses to the wet ingredients.
