Critical Success Points

  • Activating the yeast in warm milk
  • First rise until the dough doubles in volume
  • Proper shaping of the crown (thickness and diameter)
  • Second rise to achieve lightness
  • Baking at 150 °C for 40 minutes

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful with hot milk to avoid burns.
  • Handle the hot oven with kitchen gloves.
  • Do not let the dough rise too long to avoid over‑fermentation.
