Instructions to make Small tsourekia:
- Place the 200 gr of the flour, the 250 gr of the milk and the 3 satchels of dry yeast in a bowl.
- Make a thick batter
- Cover it and leave it to rise for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a mixer, beat the sugar, eggs, spices in a bowl (in order to whiten them and get a relatively thick batter)
- To which, add the flour and knead (you get a relatively firm dough).
- Then, add the milk and yeast mixture and knead until you get a smooth dough (until it is well integrated).
- Add the butter slowly until you get a well integrated dough that doesn't stick. (You knead by folding the dough and kneading lightly. Take small pieces of the dough and fold-knead).
- Cover (with a towel and a light blanket) and let the dough double in size (about 2-3 hours).
- After it doubles in size form your small tsourekia in any shape you like, DON'T knead again and place on a buttered tray (I used baking paper, not close to one another because they also rise during baking).
- You leave them to rise once more (1 to 1,5 hours) and then brush them with the egg yolk dissolved with 1 tbsp water (sprinkle with sugar or whatever else you might want).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 150 degrees for about three quarters of an hour (both radiant elements) one tray at a time. Take care that you don't overbake them. Bake at the bottom rack of the oven and move to the one above towards the end of baking.
