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.
Two years ago I baked a pie with a carob tree. And recently, a Turkish woman saw an even more interesting molding of a carob pie. I decided to cook from my own dough and filling. Roll out the dough very thinly. The dough turns out to be puff and airy, with a nutty raspberry flavor. The filling can be put sweet and unsweetened, just add protein. If the pie has unsweetened filling, remove the vanilla sugar and reduce the amount of sugar in the dough to 1 tablespoon.
This is a wonderful pie that I have been cooking for many years. I think it’s time to introduce him to you. Very chocolate, very tasty, every day is festive! From the proposed portion, I prepared 2 cakes today (the diameter of the mold is 18 cm, 3 cakes for each cake) for two worthy men. Wet chocolate cakes do not require impregnation at all. A layer of white and brown cream gives a beautiful shape. In my case, it (the cut) is fresh, so it is slightly greased. When the cream stabilizes, the pattern becomes clear. I was “introduced” to this cake by my sister, who mentioned that they had been buying this cake for all special occasions for a long time (she lives abroad. The name of the cake is “Tuxedo”). I found different versions of this cake and chose the best one for myself. Love for him came with the first bite!
