What to make with yeast
Yeast is a necessary component of bread. We published a recipe for homemade bread earlier. Also, yeast is included in the recipe for cakes. In 100 g of sourdough, mix 200 ml of water, 350 g of flour, a pinch of salt, and sugar. Make an elastic dough for patties and leave it in a warm place for 2 hours. This dough can be used to make fried or baked patties.
Yeast dough can be used to make puff pastries. Add 2 cups of warm milk or kefir to the sourdough and leave for 5 minutes. Then add 4 cups of flour, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon each of sugar and vegetable oil. After this, the pancakes can be fried immediately.
The yeast will also be useful in making homemade pizza. Heat the sourdough, add 200 grams of flour, a little salt and sugar, and a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Leave the dough for 1.5 hours. Then roll out the dough thinly, put in the filling, and bake the pizza for 20 minutes.
