Yeast dough is the foundation of many Russian culinary masterpieces, from fluffy pies to fragrant rolls. Its history dates back centuries when bread-making became an art. This dough has a remarkable lightness due to the yeast that fills it with bubbles, making its structure soft and tender. The rich flavor is complemented by the creamy note of margarine, while sugar adds a light sweetness. It is versatile: suitable for both sweet and savory baking and easy to store. After a short rest in the fridge, it becomes pliable and easy to work with. This recipe is a classic of Russian cuisine, tested by generations, creating coziness in the home and filling it with the warmth of fresh baked goods.
