Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the required ingredients. Fresh yeast works best for this quick dough. Warm the milk to 97–102°F – it should be pleasantly warm, not hot. Crumble the fresh yeast into the milk and stir until completely dissolved. At this temperature, the yeast will begin activating immediately.
Step 2
Add the vegetable oil, a pinch of salt and the sugar. Mix well.
Step 3
Sift the flour twice. This aerates the flour and helps make the finished baked goods light and fluffy.
Step 4
The dough can be kneaded in a stand mixer or food processor fitted with a dough hook. Gradually add the flour and knead until the dough is smooth, even and no longer sticks to your hands. You may need slightly more or less flour, so adjust the amount according to the dough’s consistency. You can also knead the dough by hand, although this will take longer. Knead it for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
The quick yeast dough is ready. Kneading it in a mixer takes no more than about 5 minutes. Leave it in a warm kitchen for 10–15 minutes, and it will already begin to rise. Use it to make buns, filled pastries, pies or other yeast-based bakes.
