Basic Yeast Dough for Baked Savory Pastries
Ingredients
- 500 ml warm milk
- 1.5 kg wheat flour, approximately
- 300 ml oil
- 3 egg whites
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt, not too full
- 100 g fresh yeast
Filling options
- Ground meat
- Chicken
- Cheese and ham
For brushing
- 3 egg yolks
Preparation
Put warm milk in a bowl and dissolve the yeast
Add egg whites, sugar, salt, and oil
Cover well and wait until a foam forms like detergent foam
After the foam forms, mix everything with a wooden spoon, gradually adding flour until the dough is ready to knead; do not add too much flour to avoid dryness, and if it happens, add a bit more oil
Knead the dough, then let it rest covered with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel for 30 minutes
Divide the dough into pieces and form 30 small balls
Roll each ball into a round shape and add the filling of your choice
Brush the pastries with egg yolk
Bake until lightly golden
Tips
Letting everything turn into foam in the bowl is the secret for the softness of the dough
