Tips & Notes
- Warm milk (not hot) is key for yeast-based recipes — aim for 105–115°F to activate yeast without killing it.
- Coconut milk separates in the can — stir or shake well before using.
- Honey is sweeter than sugar — if substituting, use 3/4 cup honey per 1 cup sugar and reduce liquid by 1/4 cup.
