Combine yeast and warm water in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. Combine milk mixture, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until well blended. Gradually stir in 2 cups flour.
Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, for 45 minutes or until double in bulk.
