I have a recipe that is asking me to?

Question

My boyfriend loves King Cake and I want to make it for him and his family this year, instead of buying one.

I looked up a recipe and it is asking me to:
Combine the yeast, sugar, butter, and egg yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the milk. With mixer on low speed, beat for 4 minutes to dissolve yeast. If yeast mix does not begin to foam, its not active and start over.

I do not have a mixer or a dough hook, but I do have a hand mixer. any alternatives to doing this? By hand or with my trusty hand mixer.
Or
Anyone have an easier recipe?

Thank you

King Cake dough is fairly stiff - it may be too much work for a hand mixer. You can mix as much flour in as possible with the mixer and then knead the rest of the flour in by hand.

Start early in the day, as King Cake is an all-day labor of love.

You can follow the directions using your hand mixer.  Just keep your speed low.
