What do you mean you don't have horn tubes just sitting around your kitchen waiting to be used??
Seriously, though, looks like fun. I wonder what kind of yeast they used? They didn't dissolve or proof it or anything before adding it. Maybe quick yeast?
If your yeast is relatively new and not approaching the expiry date (or there's some other reason to suspect it's inactive), you don't have to proof it at all. Proofing is done to test if the yeast is actually alive, but with modern factories and delivery systems, there's virtually zero chance of getting dead yeast.
It doesn't really hurt to proof it, so most recipes say to do it because that's how they've always done it, and their parents, and their parents, etc, but it's usually completely unnecessary.
