Yeast Cake
Because of my thoughts "what if it doesn't rise or if my efforts go in vain" leaven Doing work has always made me nervous. The success of all pastries I have made recently is thanks to my constant experimentation. Of course, every time I try, I try to find the easiest and most successful method.
For example, I extend the waiting time of the yeast that I have dissolved in milk. I'm waiting for the yeast to froth the milk and raise it by at least 1 finger.
I cover the dough, which has the consistency of an earlobe, and let it rest for 20 minutes by covering it with a cloth. I take the cooking process in the bowl I will do the cooking process, wet it with water and a brush, bring it to 50 degrees, I wait for it to rise until it is almost 2 times in the oven.
Those of you who buy fresh yeast know that yeasts are sold in 42-packs of 4 gr. When I buy fresh yeast, I can't use it right away, so usually 1 or even 2 packages are broken. Now I have started to store the yeast in the freezer to prevent this. 2-3 hours before making the pastry, I take it out of the freezer and wait for it to come to room temperature. In this way, I can store the yeast for months without spoiling.
The cake inevitably gives it a slightly yeasty flavor. You can add cocoa or cinnamon for this. Since I serve it by pouring jam on it, I used very little sugar. You can increase the amount of sugar if you want.
