❤️ TIPS❤️
1) You can mix all ingredients together in no special order.
2) Leave out some flour/ add some flour as needed.
3) Warm water best for yeast.
4) Knead for a full ten minutes, look at the clock!
5) No Mixer- use your body strength to help knead the dough.
6) Use roller for extra fluffiness.
7) Yolk mixture- use extra yolk, use silan, double coat for extra color, coat on all sides
8) Put towel after oven for extra softness
9) Always freeze if will be eaten next day!
