Substitutions for ingredients:

Variations:

Tips and tricks:
- Make sure the milk is warm but not hot, as hot milk can kill the yeast.
- Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic to ensure a soft and fluffy drożdżówka.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place, such as a turned-off oven with the light on, to help it rise faster.
- Cover the drożdżówka with a damp towel while it cools to prevent it from drying out.
Storage instructions:
Store the drożdżówka in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Reheating instructions:

Troubleshooting advice:
- If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of warm milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it's easier to handle.
