The dough can be of different types: yeast, puff pastry, biscuit, shortbread, cottage cheese, pastry, unleavened, simple, etc. Before you prepare the dough, decide what you need: they all differ in technology and cooking time, the composition of products and the type of dishes for which they are intended. For example, for fried pies, the usual dough without yeast is suitable, for buns – butter, for pies – any of the above, including unleavened, if it is unsweetened pastries.
For a well-prepared dough at home, concentrate on choosing the right flour. For dishes that require pomp, lightness and lightness, flour of the highest grade is necessary. For those that are simpler, the first or second grade is suitable. Wheat flour is used more often in baking, but recently housewives like to combine it with other types or even replace it with rye, corn, oatmeal – due to lower calorie content and higher digestibility.
Also, you should always sift the flour twice, even if you are cooking something simple like tacos tortillas or lasagna sheets. This is a necessary habit for a good cook. Also, all dry ingredients are mixed with each other, then all mixed wet ingredients are added to them. This can happen the other way around, it all depends on what a specific test recipe requires at home. Mixing is carried out in small portions, gradually. With this approach, the dough is saturated evenly, there are no lumps.
Always knead the dough clockwise, collecting it from the edges to the center. This will greatly simplify the cooking process. Roll out the rolling pin, if it is required, sprinkle with flour, the same with a table or board. If you knead with your hands, lubricate them with vegetable oil – the dough will not stick. The airiness of the dough is given by yeast, soda and baking powder. Soda can be extinguished in any acidic liquid: vinegar, lemon juice, kefir – this will save your baking from an unpleasant soda taste.
I suggest cooking a delicious cherry pie with pudding and crumbs. The pie is cooked quickly. Shortbread dough – crunchy nut crumbs, a delicate filling of pudding and cherries.
The other day I came across Jamie Oliver’s book “Ministry of Food”, and immediately my attention was drawn to the recipe for these puddings, because I found recipes on the Internet… mini puddings. The only ones that I cooked for some reason turned out not as beautiful as they described, but they were delicious – that’s a fact. In addition, they constantly pestered the molds… So today I decided to make puddings based on the wonderful Oliver’s book! All… Finally, the puddings met my expectations. They could be taken out of the molds manually! They didn’t stick to my uniform in any way… I’m sharing a recipe with you.
The cake can be made without cream, but it is in combination with baking that it gets an indescribable taste! Juicy pieces of pear, chocolate dough, vanilla pudding cream and pistachios… Very tasty!
They are called “bouncing buns” or “empty buns”. A very interesting American dessert. Although these buns can hardly be called buns, they are more like custard products. When cooking, they increase in volume by 4 times and seem to jump out of the molds. Buns can be prepared both with a sweet filling and not with a sweet one (in the form of a snack). I offer you an option in the form of dessert with pudding.
If you like cheese casserole, cheesecakes and cottage cheese cheesecake, you will surely like this recipe! I really liked this pudding, because I’m a fan of everything curd! If you are too, then look, you will not remain indifferent!
There are many recipes for making a sponge cake on boiling water or boiling milk. I suggest making a dessert of chocolate sponge cake on boiling milk with vanilla pudding.
