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 found a lot of recipes on the Internet. But the filling is different everywhere: beef or lamb. And raw. That’s why I’m posting here my version of these Lithuanian pies, which I just fell in love with!
With the fast pace of life, there is very little time for meetings with loved ones, so I try to introduce such a tradition as Sunday dinners in my family. This pie has become a favorite and has been enjoyed by absolutely everyone, even those who do not like fish) You can take any red fish – chum salmon, trout, salmon. The pie turns out to be very satisfying)
Pies from this dough always turn out airy, ruddy. The filling turns out to be incredibly fragrant, with a subtle taste of garlic, dill and juicy. The juiciness is given by mushrooms with fried onions. A quick breakfast with such pies is served on weekends.
I love peanuts for its taste. I bake buns and cookies with him. The youngest son loves waffles very much. Therefore, we all liked the fragrant cookies.
