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 tender and lush pie is a very worthy alternative to oatmeal in the morning! It is prepared elementary (like porridge) – you just need to pour the grits, pour the dough, put it in the oven and wait for it to bake. There is no flour, butter and sugar in the recipe – at least! The cake certainly benefits from the aroma of spices! I suggest you immediately start a delicious and healthy breakfast!

This pie is so simple that even the smallest cooks can cook it! A minimum of products, effort and time combined with an excellent result. The taste of pumpkin combined with notes of citrus and vanilla will not leave anyone indifferent to a sweet tooth.

I didn’t find anything like this on the site, so I’m in a hurry to share it with you.
An easy and quick to prepare pie for those who have made winter supplies from frozen vegetables and fruits. In our case, it’s pumpkin and black currant! Moist, sweet, spicy, rich! So it turned out a pumpkin pie made of dough with spices and sour black currant!
Once they were wary of sweet cakes, which include vegetables… But curiosity and a beautiful picture won me over, and I, enjoying another piece, want to offer this recipe to you, dear cooks!

I wanted to cook something new and original from minced meat. I remembered that I have a cookbook “The best minced meat dishes”, leafed through it and found an interesting recipe, as always, I had to add additives on my own, adapt them to my own desires and capabilities. The result is a wonderful, juicy inside and crispy outside meat pie. In addition, it is not quite troublesome in preparation and simple in composition.
