Dough on powdered milk for pies

   How to knead the dough with powdered milk? First prepare all the ingredients. Butter and eggs should be at room temperature. Flour of the highest grade. Yeast is dry, fast-acting. Water - filtered, heated to 40⁰C.

   Pour warm water into a tall glass. The water should feel nice-warm, not hot. Sift the powdered milk into a glass to get rid of lumps.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sugar and yeast. Stir the sourdough and leave for 20-25 minutes in a warm place. I leave the sourdough in a closed microwave oven, in which I have just warmed up a glass of ordinary water.

   A good sourdough is a thick and lush foam cap on the surface of the milk. If the sourdough has not risen, then baking will not work.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the sourdough into a deep bowl, add a pinch of salt for flavor and beat the eggs at room temperature. If you plan to bake pies with sweet filling, at this stage you can add another 1 tbsp.l.sugar. If it's salted, we don't add anything. Lightly whisk the mixture with a whisk.
