Yes with the honey! I need to update some of my recipes… thanks for the reminder. I never actually bother to measure the temp of the water. “Very warm” works well enough for me, but I do see the benefit for a brand new baker!

This is an amazing idea. I am always on the go and trying to prepare meals for my son’s care provider to feed him. This will be a nice treat on a Friday. He will love it. (So will the rest of my family!)

Just wanted to share…the perfect temp. for water with the yeast is 105-110 degrees. Also, I use honey instead of sugar. It works the same, same measurement, and I feel better about feeding it to my kids (esp. my son who cannot have sugar). I have tried other sugar subs but the yeast won’t rise. Agave syrup works too, but it is more expensive.

Thanks again for such wonderful freezer ideas and this recipe.
From Alaska….Happy Baking

Once it thaws, I use the milk just like I would fresh milk.

@kelly, What do you use frozen milk for? I froze some now I don't know what to do with it...
