The kneading process isn’t easy, but well worth the effort! Enjoy! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nStart by making a sponge to develop a structure of the dough. Add lukewarm milk, flour and yeast into the main bowl for mixing…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n…give it a stir until it’s all combined…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bri2-300x225.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n…cover with a cling film, and leave in a warm, dry place for about an hour.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bri3-300x225.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAnd in an hour – voila! You can see the structure has developed, and the sponge is grown. It also smells slightly acidic – a smell of the active yeast. I like it! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bri4-300x225.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNow, add in the eggs…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bri5-300x225.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n…and sugar…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bri6-300x225.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n…and salt…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bri7-300x225.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n…and flour…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bri8-300x225.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n…and it’s now time to knead the dough. I use a mixer and these hooks – they are specifically for kneading the dough.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bri9-300x225.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nStart kneading at the medium speed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
