Annonce:

Ingredients:
Dry Yeast: 10 grams (1 packet)
Warm Water: 200 ml (1 glass)
Flour: 720 grams (6 cups) + 120 grams (1 cup) for initial mixing
Salt: 10 grams (1 teaspoon)
Egg Yolk: 1
Milk: 1 tablespoon
Instructions:
Dissolve the dry yeast in warm water and stir until dissolved.
Mix in 120 grams of flour until smooth. Gather the dough, cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Add 400 ml of warm water, mix well, then gradually add 720 grams of flour and salt. Knead for 3-4 minutes until a soft, slightly non-sticky dough forms.
Cover the dough and let it ferment until it doubles in size. Remove air, gather, and divide into two parts. Roll each into a ball and let rest for 10 minutes.
Flour the surface lightly, expand the dough with your fingers, then roll it inward. Repeat with the second dough.
Arrange the dough on a baking tray, cover, and leave for 20 minutes. Brush with a mixture of egg yolk and milk, then bake at 200°C (392°F) until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
