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.
Hi!!! Today I want to share a recipe for a very chocolate and insanely delicious cake “Prague”, or as it is also called “Prague”. It’s a good old classic, but a bit modern. The cakes are moist, with a pronounced chocolate taste, a cream based on butter and condensed milk, and a light sourness of apricot jam perfectly sets off the sweetness of the dessert. And all this joy is called the cake “Prague”. We really liked this cake, I hope you will like it too!! Join us!

Such delicious, simple pastries will delight you and your loved ones on cold January evenings. It is prepared simply and quickly. If someone doubts whether to bake or not to bake, do it boldly. I want to say a few words about this wonderful dessert. Once upon a time I baked eclairs, then somehow the recipe was forgotten, lost, like many other equally excellent desserts that can be prepared both on holidays and on weekdays. I’ve looked at a lot of recipes on the internet and on websites. I’ve baked eclairs three times in the last week. And all three times I came to the conclusion that these recipes do not suit me at all, the dough is too liquid, the temperature does not match, the proportions are too complex, it is not necessary to measure grams and milligrams in such a simple baking. So we need to change the proportions! I decided to act as my intuition tells me, but it’s still worth sticking to some nuances in the recipe. If you have never baked this dessert, take it boldly. Everything is outrageously simple and surprisingly fast.
Fans of shortbread cakes, I think, will like the idea that came to my mind on the basis of the well-known “Anthill”. By the way, everything is suitable as a cream – from jam to cream creams. I have a cream with boiled condensed milk – such a “ginger”.
