Yeast sponge cake dough
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I'm sharing my family's classic yeast sponge dough recipe. My mother used to make it, and before her—my grandmother, so I'd recognize the baked goods made from it right away. This time I made cookies, but generally you can make soft, fluffy layers, just as they should be for a sponge cake. Very tasty—I highly recommend it. The baked goods are ready. Serve them at the table.

3. Let the dough rest for 2-3 hours. Once it has sufficiently risen (doubled in size), knead the dough again by hand, and then you can start baking!
