   Vegetable oil makes yeast dough plastic

5. Heat kefir to 38–40 ° C.

   

   Do not use cold kefir for making the dough, because of this, flour products become hard

   Dough readiness is characterized by the appearance of bubbles on the surface

7. Then add the rest of the flour, mix and leave to rise for another 1 hour.

   

   The finished yeast dough will greatly increase in volume

8. Roll out the dough.

   

   Roll out the dough not too thin

   The diamond shape of the dough pieces allows the dough to rise well when frying
