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 the name my husband gave them when he found out that only three ingredients are required for their preparation. This recipe is probably the simplest and most unusual of all that I baked.

Today I want to share with you a recipe that, frankly, struck me to the core. The fact is that it is, in fact, a cupcake on the water. Maybe someone is familiar with this technology, but this is the first time I see it. Sour cream, milk, kefir and yogurt are usually added to the dough, but to water, and even with such an amazing result? The cupcake turned out to be airy, almost weightless, it does not harden for a long time, just a miracle!
The name of this cake – “Cloud” fully corresponds to its airy structure, and, in my opinion, even the ease of its preparation! ))) I liked the result so much that after cooking it once, I bake it quite often! Perfect for a children’s afternoon tea or for a family breakfast!
To be honest, I didn’t think that something sensible would come out of a minimum of products. But the cupcakes turned out just delicious! Honey, moderately sweet, high and airy.
