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.
This is probably the most delicious sweet dough recipe I’ve ever cooked. At home we always have 2 chocolates in case we “want something sweet”. But my dietary nature, unfortunately, does not allow me to eat this dessert often. What should I do? I’ve been looking for a recipe for a long time, tried it, and I think I found my recipe for a diet brownie! Try it and you will be glad if you like this recipe…
An airy and delicate chocolate cake that can be baked as a large whole cake or in individual portions. In context, this pie is quite unusual. Dark layers beautifully alternate with white, and cherry gives the cake tartness and juiciness.
I present to your attention lean brownies based on beetroot puree. The result is tender, moist cakes, supplemented with dried cherries and roasted almonds. Very tasty, I recommend it!
Chocolate cake with cocoa – you will say, looking at the photo. And you will be right, but only half right. Because there are 2 more important ingredients – beetroot, which gives this brownie moisture and an amazing reddish hue, and sweet soy sauce, which is responsible for a pleasant aftertaste.

Tender dough that is prepared without eggs, juicy pieces of chicken fillet, broccoli, some favorite spices and cheese-cream filling. What could be better?! To the festive table! In addition, the pie can be prepared in advance and stored for 1-2 days, tightly wrapped in parchment paper, in the refrigerator, and preheated in a microwave oven before serving.
