Yeast dough (the best recipe ever)

This recipe is pure treasure. I have tried to make this dough for many years using internet and books, but the best result I got when used my mother's recipe. All this time it was so close! Now I make rolls and pasties all the time, plus - it is really cheap! (you get lots of it)

You need

2 eggs
500 ml of milk
50 g of yeast (not dry)
3 tea spoons of sugar (if you want to make sweet dough, add 250 g of sugar later)
50g of butter or margarine
about 1 kg of flour

How to make

Warm up milk to about 40C (1/2 cup), mix it with yeast and 3 spoons of sugar.

It will look like this

After 5-10 minutes size of mixture will double

Warm up the rest of milk, put the mixture in cup in it, add 2 eggs, 50g of butter, more sugar if you make sweet dough and about 800g of flour. (dough has to be almost ready, but if it is not, never mind, it would be better sticky than put too much flour in it ).


































Cover the dough and let it rest for about 1,5 hour. During this time it will rise several times. Each time you need to press on it to make it's size smaller.
When time has passed, add some flour (about 200g) in order to get ready dough, which looks like this
