Confused regarding the amount of yeast, and do you mix it in with the flour or add it to warm liquid first? It just wasn’t clear for me. Thank you—it looks delicious and I would love to make it. Sandy

Hey Sandy,
the amount of baking yeast is 16 grams and I mix it (after sifting) with flour and baking soda in a bowl, you don't add any liquid. I hope you will enjoy it!
