Yeast dough
Description
1. Dissolve the yeast in 2-3 tablespoons of warm milk, add sugar. Let it sit for several minutes. 2. Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the yeast mixture, stir thoroughly. Let it stand in a warm place for another 10 minutes. 3. In a large bowl, dissolve salt in milk, then add beaten egg and mix. 4. Add 3 cups of flour, mix very thoroughly. Add the yeast mixture and knead the dough. Check the consistency—it should not be too stiff. 5. Add room-temperature melted butter to the dough and knead again thoroughly. 6. Cover the bowl with dough using a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 2–3 hours. Avoid drafts! The dough may collapse! Punch down the dough every hour. 7. Ready! Now you can shape buns with any filling—sweet or savory.
