[@alondrabrowning2652]

I have dry yeast that’s not instant..do I not add the milk how do substitute?

[@NaazsCookbook]

You have to activate it first. Add it in the milk along with sugar. Wait for 5-10 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients.

[@hturt4]

Do you sauté the meat before putting it on the dough? Or do you use raw meat and allow it to fully cook in the oven?

[@NaazsCookbook]

yes cooking it in the oven.
