In a small bowl mix water, yeast and salt. Stir well and leave for at least 30 minutes. I usually leave it overnight.
Add the milk to the yeast mixture.
In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, starch and butter. Add the yeast mixture and knead well. The dough is somewhat sticky and very soft.
Place the dough in a bread pan and leave to rise for 2-3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Place toast onto the middle rack and bake for 35-40 minutes. The toast should sound hollow when tapped with a wooden implement.
