Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make rich yeast pie dough? Prepare the products according to the list. Take compressed yeast. Remove milk, eggs and yogurt from the refrigerator in advance so that they warm up to room temperature. Flour must be of the highest grade; the quality of baked goods will largely depend on this. Take the butter, melt it in a water bath or in the microwave and leave to cool.

Step 2

Step 2
How to make a dough? Pour warm water (35-38 degrees) into the container. Crumble fresh yeast into the water. Add 2 tsp. l. sugar and 3 tbsp. l. flour. Stir, cover with a towel and leave for 10 minutes. The mass should foam and increase by about 2 times. If this does not happen, then you need to take other yeast, since with this the baked goods will not rise.

In a separate deep container, mix natural yogurt without additives, milk and eggs. Be sure to wash your eggs well before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.
