Steps
  1. In a small bowl, combine yeast and warm water. Stir until the yeast is dissolved and let stand for 5 minutes.

  3. Add the yeast mixture and warm milk to the flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
