Instructions

Warm the plant-based milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it reaches 105–110°F (40–43°C) on an instant-read thermometer — warm to the touch but not hot. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl). Sprinkle in the yeast and 1 tsp of the cane sugar, stir gently, and let stand for 5–10 minutes until foamy and fragrant.
