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.

My child, a big fan of hot dogs and pizza, asked me to cook something from this area for the New Year’s table. I decided to make a hot dog pie with pickles, cherries and sausages. The child ate and said that it tasted like a hot dog and pizza combined, and ate the most in one sitting.
While vacationing in the Dominican Republic, I tried the simplest salad of green cucumber with cilantro and olive oil. It was served hot on freshly baked white bread. I was amazed at how simple and delicious it is. Vegetables and greens are soaked in the aromas of hot baking and warmed up a little, and baking absorbs the flavors of salad. So I decided to combine this salad with a hot vegetable pie. It turned out very tasty.
A funny recipe for a children’s picnic or just to pamper our children. Cooking is easy, simple and fun. If you have planned a holiday for children, then this is the best option for snacks that kids love very much.
I suggest you prepare a recipe for hot dog buns. Very tasty, airy and fragrant buns, which are prepared very simply. Do not hesitate to cook very delicious hot dogs for yourself and your family. Give it a try.
