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 love homemade bread. As soon as it’s baked, I don’t wait for it to cool down, I slice it and eat it with cold milk. I have had this love for hot bread since childhood. My grandmother often baked bread. However, she baked it in a Russian oven. I baked this bread in order to eat it with homemade soft cheese. I have adapted to bake bread and other flour products in a slow cooker. Who does not have it, bake bread in the oven. For me, baking in a slow cooker is easier than in the oven. No need to look into the oven from time to time, you can do other things.

The legendary American cookie was invented by Ruth Wakefield in 1930. By mistake, in a hurry or because of the lack of the right ingredients, she put crushed chocolate in the dough… so the famous chocolate cookies were born. Cookies are prepared incredibly simply and quickly, and the perfect match for it will be hot cocoa with melting marshmallows.
