    The solitary problem is that your yeast did not dissolve before you added the
    flour. Some brands of yeast do not dissolve easily in milk. To solve that
    problem, you may either:

    (1) wait longer, before adding flour; OR
    (2) put the milk with yeast into a blender for a few seconds; OR
    (3) dissolve the yeast in a little warm water, stir into a paste, and dissolve
    that paste into the warm milk.

    Try using fresh yeast. It's my preference. I only use
    dry yeast in an emergency like when I want to bake bread
    on the spur of the moment but am too lazy to run out
    to the store for fresh yeast.
