Stir the yeast into the water and set aside to dissolve and start to foam, about 5 minutes.","2":"Pour the milk into a large bowl and stir in the sugar and salt to dissolve. Cool to tepid before stirring in the yeast.","4":"Stir in the flour to make a smooth batter, then, going no more than a heaping spoonful at a time, stir in as much more flour as you need (somewhere between 1\/2 cup\/60 g and 3\/4 cup\/95 g) to get a dough that pulls away clean from the side of the bowl when you stir.","6":"This will not look like bread dough; it's wetter.
