Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
We will prepare yeast dough in the classic way using dough. The first subtlety of preparing yeast dough. All ingredients needed for the dough must be at room temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator in advance. Pour warm water into a glass (its temperature should be about 30 degrees), the water can be heated in the microwave.

Step 2

Step 2
The main thing is not to overheat the water, otherwise you can “kill” the yeast. The temperature can be determined by dipping your finger in water; it should be tolerable. Add sugar and a tablespoon of flour to the water and stir. Now add dry yeast and stir the mixture. Place the glass in a warm place, but there is no need to cover it on top. After 15 minutes, a cap of yeast should form on the surface. If it appears, it means everything was done correctly. The yeast has activated.

Step 3

Step 3
We beat chicken eggs into a deep bowl, beat them with a fork, there is no need to beat them until foamy, the main thing is that the eggs disperse. Pour in a glass of warm milk (its temperature should also be about 30 degrees), three tablespoons of vegetable oil and the finished dough. Mix everything.

Step 4

Step 4
We begin to add the sifted flour. It is better to sift the flour several times so that it is saturated with air, which will make the dough more airy and soft. Add flour to the dough in parts, stirring each time. It may take more or less flour than the amount indicated in the composition. Since each manufacturer has different quality and, accordingly, density of flour. Add as much flour as the dough takes.

Step 5

Step 5
First, knead the dough with a spoon, when it becomes difficult to do this. Place it on a table sprinkled with flour and continue kneading. The dough should be elastic, slightly sticky, but should not remain in pieces on your hands.

Step 6

Step 6
Place it back in the bowl, cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 2 hours. During this time, the dough should double in size, knead it and let it rise again. The dough is ready for baking. Bon appetit!
