Start preparing the dough by adding 3 eggs to a bowl.

Add 50 g of fresh yeast to the eggs.

Add 250 g of sugar to the egg and yeast mixture.

Mix the eggs, yeast, and sugar together until well combined.

Add 250 ml of water to the mixture and combine.

Gradually add 1 kg of all-purpose flour to the mixture, integrating it slowly.

Knead the dough until it reaches the right consistency, adjusting flour as needed based on egg size.

Use a whisk or a spoon to mix the dough initially, then switch to using hands for kneading.

Check the texture of the dough to ensure it is not too hard or too soft.
