In...Yes! you can use active yeast or instant yeast. Instant yeast doesn't need to be proofed. Active yeast does. Just mix the active yeast in about a 1/4 cup of warm water with about a tsp. of sugar and let sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly. You can reduce the milk ingredient by a couple of TBSP. as well. Just add the proofed yeast into the recipe with the wet ingredients and it should work fine. <br />Renee Paj https://www.blogger.com/profile/16904747422773645980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254840745141911962.post-63115847033093867482020-04-13T10:31:56.629-04:002020-04-13T10:31:56.629-04:00Thank you so much for coming back and letting me k...Thank you so much for coming back and letting me know how they turned out making ahead of time.

I'm not sure where it could have gone wrong for you. Is it possible it was too warm where you had them for the second rise? You could try adding a bit more flour in the mixing process to get a little firmer dough. Although the dough is soft, you should be able to form them easily into small balls for the second rise.

So, I have hot cross bun cake. The texture is more of a crumbly, cake-like texture, too. Not at all what I expected. Did I miss something, maybe kneading longer with additional flour to get a more bread-like, soft texture? They taste delicious and this is a trial run for Easter brunch, but I don't want to fail on a second batch.
