Start by preparing the yeast mixture. In a small saucepan, heat 250 ml of milk. It should be slightly warm, at a temperature of about 37°C – when you put your finger in it, it should feel pleasantly warm but not hot. Too high a temperature will kill the yeast. In a large bowl or cup, crumble 25g of fresh yeast, add 1 tablespoon of sugar (from the measured 80g), 1 tablespoon of flour (from the measured 500g), and pour in the warm milk. Mix thoroughly with a fork until all the ingredients are combined and there are no lumps. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and set it in a warm, draft-free place (e.g., near a radiator or in a slightly warmed oven) for about 10-15 minutes. The yeast mixture is ready when it has significantly increased in volume and a thick, bubbly foam appears on its surface.
