5gram active dry yeast

- Cover the whole bowl with plastic and set aside for an hour, until the dough has risen. Ensure that no air can get through.
- Remove the plastic cover and mix the dough a little bit.
- Rub butter around the microwave container so the dough won't stick.
- Add a small amount of dough into the container (Don't add too much because it will double in size while cooking).
