Plain whole milk has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid whole milk, please tap it and change its rating to Red.







Combine the milk and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over low heat and warm until just lukewarm, about 100°F (38°C) — it should feel barely warm to the touch, not hot. Pour into a large mixing bowl, stir in the sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the surface. Let stand for 8–10 minutes, until the yeast is foamy and active.
Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture and whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until a smooth, thick, pourable batter forms — it should be thicker than pancake batter but still flow off the whisk in a slow ribbon. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and leave in a warm spot for 45–60 minutes, until the batter has risen noticeably and the surface is covered in bubbles.
