Your recipe should indicate where and how to add the yeast, but yeast does not dissolve well in milk (if at all). Yeast forms into large clumps when mixed directly with milk and will take much longer to activate. I made this mistake the first time I tried to substitute milk for water when making bread.
The usual way of adding yeast to such a recipe is to fully dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit). If the water is not warm enough, it won't activate the yeast and if it's too warm, it can kill the yeast. One of my colleagues proofs the yeast in the usual way (1/4 cup warm water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp yeast), then adds the rest of the yeast to the water, mixes the dry ingredients with the milk for the recipe, then adds the water-yeast mixture to that. He claims that it works perfectly.
Of course, if you use 1/4 cup of water to dissolve your yeast, subtract 1/4 cup of milk from the recipe unless otherwise indicated. And also make sure you're using the proper yeast for whatever it is you are baking.

What is instant yeast?
Instant yeast is another type of dry yeast that was introduced after active dry yeast in the 1970s. It is made using a similar process as active dry yeast, although is dried more quickly. As you can see, this yeast is also milled into finer particles. Because of this, it dissolves faster and activates quickly. But unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast doesn't have to be proofed first; it can be mixed straight into the dry ingredients with the same result. This yeast also gives you two separate rises and it can be used interchangeably with active dry yeast.

Dry yeast is inactive and becomes active when wet. It doesn't store indefinitely but it does keep longer that compressed yeast. Compressed cake yeast is already active which is why it's kept refrigerated and must be used within days. Compressed activate in warm water 75 90 degrees. Dry active: sprinkle over warm water add a pinch of sugar and wait 10 min. Quick rise: Does not need to be activated mix right into dough.

It should then look bubbly.

Dissolve, yes; activate and reproduce, no. Alcohol is a waste product of yeast, and so it has no benefit to the yeast. Yeast feeds on sugars, so it needs carbohydrates (i.e., flour, sugar, fruit) to achieve the desired results, be they gas production for the leavening of bread, or the production of alcohol.
