Step:
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.
Ingredients
1 kg flour (maybe a little bit more, you can be the judge of that) for tsourekia (or all purpose)
3 satchels dry yeast (or 90 g fresh)
250 g lukewarm fresh milk
1 tsp mahlab (ground)
1 tsp mastic (ground)
zest from a big orange
200 g margarine at room temperature
5 eggs
1 egg yolk (for brushing)
200-300 g sugar (depending on how sweet you want them to be)
