Dough with fresh live yeast
Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. Yeast dough made with active dry yeast is very easy to prepare. The important thing is that the yeast is fresh. Incidentally, that’s easy to check. After you’ve put the yeast and sugar in a bowl and poured in warm milk, let the yeast rest for 10–15 minutes. If it foams, you can confidently proceed with the dough. I’m giving a dough recipe for unsweetened pies. If you want to bake a sweet pie, increase the amount of sugar. It can be served with tea or coffee.
