Notes
**Instant dry yeast is yeast that can be mixed right with the dry ingredients, it does not have to be proofed – one brand is SAF, but I believe all the “big” yeast brands sell it to – just look for INSTANT on the package.
If you are not using instant yeast, you should add it to the warm (115 degreees) water and let sit and bubble for about 10 minutes and then add it to the dry ingredents.
