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.
“Strudel” in translation is a vortex, vortex, vortex. Strudel is not necessarily a dessert dish. I offer you a delicious stuffing of minced meat and cabbage. Will carry more than one head.
A quick and delicious apple strudel made of puff pastry, of course, it is prepared with deviations from Austrian culinary traditions, but this version of the recipe is ideal for those who do not have time to cook thin puff pastry according to a classic recipe.
In this recipe, I just tried to connect East with West, and strudel with baklava. I really wanted to cook some oriental sweet based on bulgur (just when I was cooking it earlier – it seemed to me that this porridge has a very “confectionery” taste, and some sweet pastries are asking for it!).
The birthplace of strudel is Austria, where it gained popularity in the 19th century during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany and Italy bake tons of strudel daily… But few people think that strudel is related to Turkish baklava, and the reason for this was the Turkish raids on Eastern Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. In short, for me there is nothing better than a dank evening (and such evenings are only getting worse) than a plate with hot apple strudel and vanilla pudding! Which one of you is against it? The strudel dough has already been mentioned on the website, and my task is to show you how to properly prepare the most delicious filling for it.
Simple and unpretentious in the preparation of strudel. I tried it the way it is in Vienna, and I really fell into the soul. I asked for the recipe in the “Residents”, and voila – I cook this strudel every weekend. My family loves this dessert very much. Now I’m sharing this recipe with you.
