In order to prepare yeast dough, yeast is diluted in warm milk or water, flour is added and stirred well, sprinkled with flour on top; then the dishes in which they are cooking are well tied with a towel or napkin and put in a warm place so that the dough comes up.
- The dough ripens, while it doubles, the top is covered with bubbles, this is a sign that the dough is ready.
- Eggs with salt, flavorings are added to the dough, flour is added and the dough is kneaded until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
- Then add preheated butter.
- The dough is kneaded well in a cup and laid out on a board, which must be sprinkled with flour. Next, the dough must be kneaded until elastic, it must come off the hands.
- The finished dough is put back into the dish, tied and put in a warm place for an hour and a half to ripen.
Determining the readiness of the dough is rather difficult, it has a different consistency, therefore, the fermentation process takes place in different ways. For example, in batter, the fermentation process is faster than in thick batter. Unleavened dough can be identified by the signs that characterize its ripeness: if the dough was recently kneaded, it is moist and often dense, but when the dough is ripe, it increases in volume, one and a half or two times, becomes fluffy, smooth and elastic. The dough will be tastier and more aromatic if you add aromatic substances to it. They must be thoroughly chopped before you start kneading the dough.
If you put a lot of salt or sugar in the dough, the fermentation process will slow down or stop altogether.
If the dough does not ferment, chilled dough to 10 ° C should be heated to 30 ° C, and too warm dough should be cooled to 30 ° C and a little yeast should be added.
The dough may not be suitable due to the poor quality of the yeast. To check the quality of the yeast, you need to prepare a small portion of the dough and sprinkle it with flour on top. If after half an hour no cracks appear in the flour layer, we can conclude that the yeast is bad. In this case, you need to take others.
In order to successfully prepare yeast dough, you must follow all the above rules, then the baking will delight you.
