Wild Garlic Snails

Pour half of the lukewarm milk into a bowl, add yeast, a teaspoon of sugar, and 30 g of flour. Mix until a smooth paste forms, cover with a cloth, and let the leaven rise for 10 - 15 minutes.

Pour the leaven into a bowl, add the remaining milk, egg, flour, and salt. Knead in a stand mixer for 5 minutes, or by hand for 10 minutes. Then add the softened butter, cut into slices or cubes, and mix for another 5 minutes in the stand mixer or 10 minutes by hand.

Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into a ball. Return it to the bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise. This takes approximately an hour until it doubles in size. Then, press the dough down into the bowl, form it into a ball again, and let it rise a second time.
