• Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar into the 1/2 cup of warm water.

Note: one reviewer commented "The 3 cups flour became about 7 to make it a workable dough. Must be an error in the recipe" There is no mistake in the recipe; this is a cake with a soft dough, not a bread. The term "workable" does not apply here; the soft dough will rise right in the pan. This is not a bread where you are continually kneading it into something that must be shaped. Had the reviewer simply patted it into the pan and let it rise in the pan it should have been fine. The mistake was adding all that extra flour and treating it like a bread.
• Now the fun begins.

• Pour on remaining 1/2 cup of butter, and let dough rise another 30 minutes.
