Therefore, before you start cooking, you should figure out which foods you will have to give up.

What ingredient in dough makes baked goods tough?

The more proteins are added to the yeast dough, the tougher and more tasteless the baked goods will be; it is better to limit yourself to yolks.

It is also important to monitor the expiration date of the yeast. If the product is expired, the dish will be spoiled.
