Example
[Making yeast bread dough from scratch can be complicated] but [it’s also very satisfying.]

1. First, you need to combine dry yeast with warm water, but don’t use hot water.
2. Hot water will kill the yeast and then your bread is doomed.
3. Sift flour into a bowl so you can add it to the yeast mixture later.
4. Mix together milk, butter and maybe some sugar, or heat these together on the stove.
5. Mix everything together except the flour, and then add the flour one cup at a time.
