Vitushki
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The main ingredients used to make vityushki are: wheat flour, milk, yeast, and butter. Vityushki are brushed with egg and baked in the oven. Preparation: Prepare the starter. Dissolve yeast in warm milk, mix with flour. Let it ferment for about two and a half hours (you can place it in the oven with the light turned on). Prepare the dough. Add molasses or honey to the starter, then gradually add flour in several portions. Knead at low speed for three to five minutes until smooth. Then add melted butter and salt. Continue kneading for another five minutes. The dough will become elastic at the end of kneading. Let it rise for about one hour. Divide the dough into two equal halves. Shape each half into a rope, one about 15 cm and the other about 20 cm in length. Let them rest for five minutes. Place the shorter rope crosswise over the longer one, then wrap it around the longer rope twice from left to right. Turn 180 degrees and wrap the second end of the rope around. Let stand for 45 minutes. Brush vityushki with a mixture of egg yolk and milk. Then place in a preheated oven at 200°C. Bake for about 25 minutes. Serve the finished dessert warm.
