👨‍🍳 Instrucțiuni

1. 1

   For the dough: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Sifting flour can result in a lighter dough.

   Pour the yeast mixture and melted butter into the well. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   Remove from heat and stir in fresh dill. Let the filling cool completely.
