Dough for crumpets on yeast

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the dough for crumpets. In a deep bowl, mix 250 grams of sifted wheat flour of the highest grade (you can sift twice for better results), salt and high-speed yeast. Try to use flour that does not float, otherwise the dough will not come out - it will spread out, it will not fit properly and products from it will not turn out. It will also take about 50 grams of flour per podpyl. Yeast must be fresh, otherwise the dough will not rise.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a small iron bowl (or saucepan), we heat fresh cow's milk to a temperature of 50 degrees. Remove from heat and add sugar and butter. Mix it several times so that the sugar dissolves and the butter completely melts. We wait 5 minutes until the milk cools down to a temperature of 30 degrees. In order to make sure that the milk is not hot and will not kill yeast, we try it with a finger, and preferably with a special thermometer.

3. Step 3:

   

   In a bowl with flour, pour warm milk mixture and pre-beaten egg with a fork or whisk (ideally homemade). We take the egg out of the refrigerator in advance so that it warms up a little to room temperature. To do this, it can be kept in warm water for a short time, just not in hot water, so that it does not burst.

5. Step 4:

   

   Start kneading the dough with a spoon. When all the ingredients are mixed and the mass begins to thicken, we spread the dough on the desktop, sprinkled with flour. It will still be a little sticky, as it should be.

6. Step 5:

   

   Adding flour along the way, knead the dough with your hands in the classic way: bending the edges into the middle and pressing with a little effort. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it is elastic. One should be soft and pliable, not tight. Cover the dough with cling film and leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm place. The dough for the crumpets is ready. Before further use, knead the dough again and cook delicious crumpets.
