Step 1 -In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 1/4 cup of the warm water, the yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and let it sit until it starts to foam, about 4-5 minutes. If it does not foam, repeat this step with fresh ingredients.

Step 2 -Add the milk, the remaining sugar, and 1/2 cup of the cooled, melted butter to the yeast mixture and mix well.
