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.
Pumpkin pie is a traditional recipe for celebrating Thanksgiving, which is celebrated in America on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving is one of the three most popular holidays in the United States and is widely celebrated along with Easter and Christmas. The traditional dishes of this holiday are baked whole turkey and pumpkin pie.
I’ve made my own changes to the pie filling. In the original recipe there is parmesan-40 g, I did not put it and 150 g of sour cream. Instead, I took 2 tablespoons of sour cream and 150 g of cottage cheese. Juicy fragrant pie on crumbly dough.
Apples are one of the favorite all-season ingredients when baking pies. But it is home-made autumn apples that are the most fragrant, ripe, saturated with all summer flavors-flavors. Sasha Black has these lines: how many apples! In the dark, leaves shine through the tight knots of these nets – tomatoes are brighter, lemons are golden. You climb a heavy branch and, closing your eyes, inhale their joyful spirit, like a drunken dragonfly… This local spirit is the spirit of this cheesecake. A fragile sandy base, a delicate curd layer and the apples themselves… a delightful autumn song!

If you have not found the use of minced fish (fillet) or you are already tired of the usual dishes, try to cook these dumplings. A very unusual and interesting combination. I was treated to a large cod fillet, which in itself is rather dry and I found a way out) The dumplings according to this recipe cannot be called lean, because I added a little fat for juiciness. I really hope you enjoy this combination!! Join us!!
