Combine Weet-Bix and 1/2 cup boiling water in a small bowl. Stir to make a porridge, and set aside. Combine So Good milk and 1/4 cup boiling water in a large bowl – the liquid should be room temperature, not hot. Add honey and sprinkle over yeast, stirring well. Set aside 5 to 10 minutes until foamy – this means your yeast is alive.
Tips
Blooming the yeast first (Step 1) confirms it’s fresh and alive before adding the other ingredients. If you’re not used to working with yeast, blooming in a narrow jug instead of a wide bowl can make it easier to see activity.
Rising time of dough can vary based on the temperature of your kitchen and temperature of ingredients used. Dough will rise more quickly in warmer weather, slower when it’s cooler.
The need for extra flour will depend on a range of factors including brand used, and humidity in the air. It’s better to have dough that’s a bit sticky or tacky after kneading, than one that is dry and too firm! Flour will continue to absorb liquid as it rises.
