Homemade dough made with milk, yolks and butter

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients according to the list. All food stored in the refrigerator must be removed in advance so that it is at room temperature. Place the softened unsalted butter in a deep bowl and chop it with a knife. Instead of butter, you can use margarine, it will be cheaper, but such a replacement does not affect the quality of baked goods.

2. STEP 2

   

   We only need the yolks from chicken eggs for the dough; we separate them from the whites. Place the yolks in a bowl with butter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar, stir until smooth and sugar dissolved.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a glass of warm milk (the milk needs to be heated to a temperature of 36 degrees, this can be done in a microwave or on the stove, the main thing is not to overheat the milk so as not to spoil the action of the yeast), dilute the dry yeast, stir until it is completely dispersed in the mixture.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the resulting milk-yeast mixture into a bowl with the butter-egg mixture. Mix again.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the sifted wheat flour into a bowl with liquid, add flour in parts, kneading the dough each time. When the dough becomes difficult to mix with your hands, place it on a floured work surface and continue kneading with your hands. You may need a little more or less flour than the amount indicated in the composition, since the quality and density of the product differs from manufacturer to manufacturer.

7. STEP 7

   

   The dough should be smooth and elastic in consistency, slightly sticking to your hands, but not remaining on your palms. Place the dough in a plastic bag, tie it and leave for 20 minutes at room temperature. The dough should increase significantly in volume.

8. STEP 8

   

   The dough is ready, we move on to molding products from it: buns, pies and even the famous French croissants. The loaves and baguettes made from this dough are very tasty, soft and airy. Bon appetit!

I decided to make a homemade loaf and found homemade French dough. The recipe is not complicated using the ingredients you have on hand. I took the yolks of homemade eggs. Instead of butter I used butter margarine. As recommended by the author, I took all the food out of the refrigerator in advance. Mixed margarine with yolks and sugar. Added milk with yeast. At the end, I gradually added flour and kneaded the dough with my hands until smooth. It came off the hands and was homogeneous. The dough was left to rise in a warm place for 20 minutes and rose perfectly. I formed the loaves and baked the products for 30 minutes at 180 degrees. My loaves turned out soft, airy, with a crispy crust and very tasty. I liked working with this test. It is elastic and tender. Great dough recipe! Many thanks to the author 😊
