["For the sponge:", "Place yeast into a mixing bowl. Add warm water (at about 110 F) and sugar. Give it a little swirl and let it sit for about 10 minutes to create the sponge for your dough.", "While waiting for sponge to do its magic, you can get the other ingredients ready.", "For the pastry:", "After sponge has developed (it should look bubbly), add the pastry ingredients (except for the flour) to the sponge. Mix well.", "Keep mixing and add a couple of cups of flour. Continue to mix in flour 1/2 a cup at a time until dough \"hugs\"" or mostly clings to the beater. Dough will have gone from somewhat soupy to more elastic. Give or take
