Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 200 ml warm milk
  • 200 ml warm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 50 ml vegetable oil
  • 550 grams flour

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine 200 ml of warm water, 200 ml of warm milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of yeast. Stir the mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step activates the yeast, ensuring the dough will rise properly.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 50 ml of vegetable oil. Add the yeast mixture once it has become frothy and stir to combine.
  3. Incorporate the dry ingredients: In the same bowl, add 550 grams of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually stir the flour into the wet mixture using a spoon or spatula until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough: Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour, but be careful not to overdo it as this can make the dough dense.
  5. Let the dough rise: Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
