Yeast dough for cakes on dry yeast

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To make one large pie from yeast dough on dry yeast, we will need: one pack of 12 grams of dry yeast (about 2 teaspoons), two chicken eggs, 70 grams of butter or margarine, 60 grams of sugar, 200 ml of milk, half a teaspoon of salt, about 600 grams of flour.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pre-melt butter or margarine. You can melt the butter in a water bath or, like me, use a microwave. If you decide to melt the butter in the second way, then set the lowest power or select the defrost mode, otherwise the oil may start shooting and stain the entire microwave.

3. Step 3:

   

   First mix all the dry ingredients, that is, sugar, yeast, salt and flour (I take 400 grams of flour first, then pour it in during the kneading process, achieving the desired consistency of the dough).

4. Step 4:

   

   Add two eggs.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour room temperature milk and melted butter (margarine) into the dough.

7. Step 6:

   

   Knead the dough, adding flour if necessary. Flour will take about 600 grams in total. Since flour can have different densities from different manufacturers, it is almost impossible to specify the exact amount of flour. We always focus on the consistency of the dough, it should not stick to your hands, but it should not be too steep.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cover the dough with a clean towel and put it in a warm place for one hour. I always put the dough to rise near the stove or next to a hot kettle, it's warm there and the dough rises well. There is no need to crush it. After an hour, the dough is ready for use. You can immediately start forming a pie.
