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.
I want to share a recipe for juicy, crispy and very tasty mini chebureks with squid filling. Squid meat does not have a fishy smell, and minced meat from it turns out tender and juicy. My dough is without eggs, it is very elastic, it is perfectly molded, but it does not stick to my hands. Thanks to all these features, it turns out an unusually juicy filling and cheburek, which does not flow and even when cooled remains crispy.
It is translated into Russian as “Lahmajun-hazelnut” and is a miniature snack dish “for one tooth”, the birthplace of which is considered to be the city of Tarsus in south-eastern Turkey. Tiny tortillas made of dough, covered with a mixture of minced meat and vegetables, are served in restaurants while waiting for a change of dishes. We will try to look at this dish from an everyday point of view and prepare delicious mini – lahmajuns in an ordinary kitchen, especially since all the necessary products are at our fingertips.
This bread in Scotland used to be baked on the eve of the feast of St. Michael, on September 29, when all the grain was removed. Bread was traditionally baked by the eldest daughter in the family from the grains of the fresh harvest. A mixture of different grains was used for “Struan”: rye, oats, barley, wheat. The grains were pre-ground and soaked in water or milk. Then they baked bread, and in the morning they carried it to the church to receive the blessing of the priest, who asked St. Michael for a plentiful harvest.
I’ve never been abroad. But, of course, I would really like to. However, in the light of current events, we can only dream, and also sit in front of the TV and do “zyring”. I.e., travel together with the hosts of culinary programs from different countries (by the way, everything is bad for them too). And you can also travel through the pages of books! This is much more useful. And the first place we will go is to Alsace. A historical region on the border of three countries-Germany, Switzerland and France. Today, this territory belongs to France and is part of the administrative region of Grand Est. Little Red Riding Hood brought us here, or rather, a well-known fairy tale. Well, we load our guns and go to the forest to scare the wolves. And at the same time we will take the treat to Grandma.
The dishes of Latvian cuisine are not particularly bright, made from ordinary products, but the main thing is that they are hearty and delicious, with their own “zest”. Wheat did not grow well in all regions of Latvia, so they baked from rye flour, for example, the famous Kurzeme “sklandrausis”. For the detailed recipe, thanks to A. Saulestiba. For 10 pcs. double the serving size. The diameter of each is 11 cm, the height is 2 cm
Pizza Toskana. The first pizza was made in Naples in 1552. This year, the first tomatoes were brought to Europe. This dish was immediately liked by the wife of the King of Italy, Margaret of Savoy. One of the most famous pizzas was named in her honor. Cooked Italian pizza at home is no different from the original. Italian pizza has a huge number of options (about 200). What inventive pizzaioles don’t put in there. This is the name given in Italy to the people who prepare this dish.
I share my family pizza recipe. Stored since autumn, baked and frozen sweet peppers allow you to make this pizza on any winter day and delight us with its sweet taste. A large amount of baked pepper makes this dish not only fragrant, sweet, but also quite useful. It is healthier than regular pizza, as the dough is made from a mixture of unbleached wheat flour and wholemeal flour; the filling contains more pepper, does not contain any smoked meat, and the cheese is not baked under direct heating of the upper spiral of the oven. Less trans fat is formed, since this dish is sprinkled with cheese 10 minutes before cooking, so that it melts, but does not dry out (so that the fat does not separate from it as in ordinary purchased pizzas). This dish is slightly sweet due to the pepper and spicy due to the spices.
