sugar; stir to dissolve. pour yeast mixture into well and let set 5 |
minutes. in a small bowl combine butter, egg yolks, and salt; add to |
well. knead liquid into dry ingredients until dough is smooth, elastic, |
and easy to shape into a ball. work in more flour (about 1/2 cup) if |
needed. dust with flour. cover with a damp towel and proof in a warm spot |
until doubled, about 1 hour. punch down dough; turn onto lightly floured |
surface and roll out 1/2-inch thick. place on a greased 15x10x1-inch |
baking sheet; cover with a towel and proof for 20 minutes. cut plums into |
