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.
With the frenzied rhythm of life, you want to cook quickly, easily, but so that the dish is delicious and looks beautiful on the table. In this recipe, I’m thinking of mini croissants with salmon and cream cheese. This snack is one of my signature dishes, which I often cook, both for a holiday and for every day. It’s delicious with a glass of wine, tea or coffee.
I want to offer an interesting option for a quick breakfast or a snack during the day! We will need ready-made croissants, and for the filling, lightly salted salmon surrounded by lush greenery is suitable! Cream cheese will be a great addition!
In my opinion, this is the best pastry you can imagine… Delicate crumbly dough stuffed with vanilla custard and fragrant jam – it’s impossible to resist it!!
Croissants with apples in caramel sauce are so delicious that words cannot convey. Just go and cook quickly. And there is something unusual in this recipe.
We all know that chocolate is a kind of happiness hormone, right? Thanks to the content of caffeine and other interesting components in chocolate (let’s not get smart about this), the mood improves, there is a surge of strength and vivacity, the overall tone increases! My small innovations in the classic recipe greatly simplify its preparation and reduce the number of necessary ingredients. The structure of the finished dessert becomes very airy and delicate. So, by introducing mayonnaise into the dough, we eliminate the need to add eggs and vegetable oil! In addition, mayonnaise can also be replaced with baking powder!
Are you a big fan of chocolate and pumpkin? Then this cake is for you!!! And even if you don’t like pumpkin pastries, this pie will still conquer you (I know because my husband doesn’t like pumpkin, but he ate almost one of this pie). Brownies differ from classic ones in a denser texture.
This is something incredible!! Who would tell me the years..5 years ago, I would not have believed that I was going to cook brownies with green beans!! Well, for me it’s really unreal inappropriate… but… I still couldn’t overcome my curiosity and cooked it! Incredibly delicious, very chocolate, and you can never say that there is not a gram of flour and eggs in this brownie… what is the basis of a simple boiled red bean… This brownie is completely low-fat, I added chocolate chips and crushed almonds to it, it turned out very tasty!
This brownie was first cooked last year, before that I had only heard or read about it. It turns out tender, probably due to a small amount of flour. Be sure to try to cook.
