Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Take a deep container in which it will be convenient to mix all the ingredients you need for the dough. Keep in mind that when it reaches, the volume will increase at least twice, and it will need space. Pour half a tablespoon of dry yeast into it, as well as half a teaspoon of salt and sugar. Gradually pour a glass of warm water into the container, constantly stirring the mixture so that no lumps form. Add three tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix well again.
   
2. Then sift two and a half cups of flour. I advise you not to neglect this process. Sifting flour helps rid it of small, invisible foreign bodies. But the most important thing is that the flour will be enriched with oxygen, this will make the structure of the dough more uniform and tender. This favorably affects the activation of yeast. And as a result, the dough will surprise you with its airiness. Add flour to the bowl gradually, mixing everything with a spatula or spoon. With each new portion of flour, the consistency will become thicker, and you can continue to knead it with your hands on the work surface. Good kneading is important for even distribution of ingredients, activation of yeast and high rise of dough. The amount of flour may vary, but be careful not to get too much flour. Otherwise, the dough will become like rubber and will not rise.
   
3. Transfer the kneaded dough from the surface back to the container. Cover it with a clean towel, a piece of cloth, or cling film. Leave the dough to rise at room temperature for about an hour. But do not forget that after half an hour it should be kneading again.
   
4. After an hour, the dough will increase in size at least twice. So that it does not stick to your hands, and it is convenient to work with it, pour flour onto the work surface. Ready dough is suitable for both sweet and salted pastries. It all depends on your preference. It is not recommended to freeze the dough, it is better to use all at once. For example, bake jam rolls from it. It is convenient to take them with you for lunch for work or study, and also they always perfectly complement any tea party. For the filling, apples, jam, homemade cheese, ham, nutella or stewed cabbage with mushrooms are also great.
