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.
These tortillas are very similar in structure to Armenian lavash or Mexican tortillas! Of course, Armenian lavash cannot be cooked at home, because special technology and an oven are needed, and they must be fresh (on water and flour), like Mexican tortillas. They are similar to each other. … Try it, cooking is not difficult at all! Soft, elastic, does not crack – well, that’s right, lavash….
I love fast, delicious and simple pastries. Such a roll can be baked for dinner, served with chicken broth, you can eat a piece for breakfast, washed down with a cup of your favorite coffee, or take it with you to work for a snack, wrap the children at school, take them on a picnic, on the road, in general, it is very convenient in all senses. As for the taste, I think you can already guess. Spinach and mascarpone have been friends for a long time, and the taste of crab meat has further enriched this union. I got a great roll!)) I recommend baking it for you too!))
I decided to post the first recipe. I looked through all the options in the search, there is something similar, but it is not so. It is very tasty both hot and cold. I made the filling – pear-apple.
Yes, this is certainly not the first strudel recipe in the kitchen, and they are all somewhat similar. But I decided to share my recipe, which I have been cooking for many years!
There are a lot of strudels on the site, but I found only one with chocolate, and it doesn’t look like mine, so I add my own, in case someone likes it. And strudel is an excellent dish, suitable for freezing and subsequent fast cooking, really does not require defrosting.
Strudel for me is always autumn. Hot chocolate, vanilla ice cream, caramel apples and extra pounds by summer. In this recipe I combined a lot of filling, light cottage cheese, a minimum of dough and a good mood! Welcome!
