For the preparation of yeast dough, I use a bread maker. The dough for the pie can be prepared in two ways: put all the ingredients at room temperature specified in the recipe (replace boiling water with milk) into the bucket of the bread maker, install the “Dough” program and after 1.5 hours get a bucket of fragrant dough or cook the dough in a slow cooker. the method of making sourdough.
The dough for the cake turns out to be delicious in any version, but for the anniversary recipe I will prepare the dough on custard, in the evening you can prepare a sponge, and in the morning put the dough on the kneading. To prepare the custard base from the dough, pour 100 ml of boiling water into a bowl, pour in portions of 30-40 g of flour from the total amount, vigorously stirring the mixture with a whisk so that the lumps do not boil.
Weigh the eggs, the recipe indicates the weight of eggs in 100 g, if the weight exceeds 100 g, then reduce the amount of milk by this amount (i.e. eggs + milk = 200 g).
Beat the eggs lightly with a whisk with 40 g of sugar.
Pour the beaten eggs into the warm custard mixture, mix, then add the warm milk, mix until smooth.
Then crumble the pressed yeast (using additional ones), stir until the yeast dissolves.
