1. Tips for Preparing Yeast Dough for Plum Cake
I see a first overview of the ingredients and their effects as a good introduction to kneading dough 🙂
- The basic yeast dough ingredients consist of flour, yeast, warm milk, sugar, butter and salt.
- The addition of yeast loosens the dough and creates volume.
- The milk increases the sticking effect of the dough.
- The soft or liquid butter makes the dough juicy and brings the buttery taste.
- The eggs finally make the dough stable.
I will explain the dough process briefly and concisely below:
- Please prepare all ingredients at room temperature one hour before.
- The yeast will then find the temperature necessary for fermentation.
- Sift the flour in advance and form a hollow in the bowl.
- The fresh yeast is best dissolved in the flour cooler with a part of the lukewarm milk.
- You should knead your dough until it bubbles or comes off the bowl.
- When you touch the dough, it should feel smooth.
- Leave your dough to rest in a warm place for 15-20 minutes at least twice.
Mix the yeast dough with warm ingredients, then let it rise in a warm place. That way the dough is sure to rise!
