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.

It’s nice to have something delicious and interesting over a cup of tea or coffee! I propose to supplement the tea with bright, moderately sweet beetroot biscotti cookies with pink, crispy crust and walnuts!
With the onset of cold weather, we begin to pamper the family with delicious pastries more often. It’s so wonderful to gather the whole family at the table to drink tea or coffee and discuss how the day went. There are already proven recipes in the arsenal, and there are also those that have become a discovery, but everyone already likes them so much. Here is such a delicate pie. I think tangerines and cranberries are really winter foods, and that’s what I add to my pie. The pleasant sweetness and sourness from the bottom of the pie and the slight bitterness from the top complement each other and perfectly match with the sweet and velvety dough. I want to note that the cake is prepared without much effort and it can be easily prepared for unexpected guests. The pie turns out delicious both hot and cold.
