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!
Yeast dough preparation tip from Chef Thomas Sixt

Prepare sweet yeast dough — The yeast dough works better if you add the ingredients room warm and the milk lukewarm. The yeast gnocchi are quickly activated by the flour and sugar and add volume to the dough. © Thomas Sixt Food Photographer
