      I'm no food scientist but I think you can. Just make sure it's slightly warm water so it helps activate the yeast. Stay safe!

      You can use either, but if you use unsalted butter I recommend you remove don't use the 3/4 tsp of salt. Or else it might be too salty. Sorry, this is very late :P
