1. Kneading the Dough
Activate the Yeast:
In a deep bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 8 g of dry yeast. Stir in 120 ml of warm milk and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
Add 1 room temperature egg, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 6 tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice to the yeast mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Add Flour:
Gradually add 2 3/4 cups of flour mixed with a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough by hand or with a mixer until it is smooth and elastic.
