yes, that half a cup of water turns all foamy once the yeast rises so it doesn;t do much to mix the dough anyway. so once u mix in the yeast mixture u use additional water and milk to knead the dough.
When u set the oven to broil only the top grill comes on :)
ALso girls with the yeast just gently shake off excess yeast from the teaspoon, do not level it. I use measuring spoons and cups for all ingredients.
thanx dear i wud try this sometime..
