Step 1
Make the starter: add a pinch of flour and dry yeast to 50 ml of warm water, mix well and let stand for 15–20 minutes until the yeast rises. To this mixture, add enough flour (taken from the total amount specified in the recipe) to make a batter-like dough. Cover the starter and let it rise in a warm place for 2–2.5 hours.

Now knead the dough: sift in the remaining flour, add sugar, egg, and the risen sponge. During kneading, gradually add 50 ml of water, then cover the dough and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
