Transfer to a bowl and set aside to allow to cool.", "Sweet Dough:", "Begin by proofing the yeast: Pour 1 cup of lukewarm water in a bowl, add 2 teaspoons of sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the water.", "Let stand in a dry and draft free place for 10 minutes.The yeast should foam and expand.", "Pour the milk in a saucepan and heat to just below the boiling point.
