Add the wai aromahana (lukewarm water) and mīere (honey) to a bowl. Stir until the mīere (honey) has dissolved.
Ruia te īhi horo ki runga - sprinkle over the instant yeast. Stir again and leave to activate for 5 minutes. The īhi (yeast) should rise to the top and look foamy.
Add the puehu parāoa (flour), pēkana paura (baking powder), tote (salt) and miraka tepe (yogurt) in to the yeast mixture and stir until a rough dough forms.
Pokepokea te pokenga - knead the dough. Do this for 5 minutes only, until stretchy. You can do this by hand on a lightly floured bench or in a stand mixer.
Add the dough to a bowl, cover with a bowl cover or tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hour.
Prepare your pata kāriki (garlic butter) as it rises. This can be prepared a day or so in advance and stored in a sealed container in the fridge.
