Notes

Milk to dissolve yeast should be warm. If it is hot, it will kill the yeast. If it is cold, the yeast might not activate.

Dough should be soft and smooth, so adjust the water quantity accordingly.
Do not add the sugar to the stuffing while it is hot. Let the stuffing get cooled for 10 minutes before adding the sugar.
