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.
Dear cooks, I bring to your attention a recipe for a classic apple strudel with apples and cinnamon. Despite the fact that there are quite a lot of such recipes on the site, after reading a few, I came to the conclusion that there are differences in the composition of the dough and the technique of stretching it. Many people are afraid of the stretching process, I also, to be honest, did not dare for a long time, but in fact it was very simple and now I bake this wonderful biscuit roll very often. I offer my own version of strudel with several secrets that make it easier to work with the dough and make this delicacy, which is loved by many, unique.
I do not know a single person who does not like strudel, but many are afraid of the process of stretching the dough. I suggest baking a wonderful apple treat without this “terrible” process. As the name suggests, the recipe is old, probably the predecessor of those apple strudel rolls that we know now. Hungarians were once the trendsetters of culinary fashion in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and you will pay tribute to their imagination and talent when you hear the crunch of tender dough and feel the sweetness of apple filling.
