Most people love homemade cakes, their unique taste and aroma. In order for the pies to work out airy and appetizing, you need to prepare a delicious yeast dough. Housewives have to work hard and spend a lot of time, but the result will delight everyone.
It is useful for novice young cooks to get acquainted with some of the intricacies of making yeast dough. To make the baking airy and fluffy, you need to have a light, well-rising dough. It should not spread like a cake when you try to mold a pie.
Before kneading the dough, it is imperative to sift the flour. It will not only be cleaned of impurities, but will become lighter due to the ingress of oxygen into it during the sifting process, baked goods made from such flour will be more airy. In order for the fermentation processes to occur better and faster, all liquids that will be used to prepare the dough need to be slightly warmed up. If you add yogurt or kefir, you need to salt them a little to reduce the acidity. Instead of regular milk, you can take milk powder or cream, dissolve them in warm water before use.
If the sugar is coarse, then it must be dissolved in the liquid used. It is better to put less sugar, if there is an excess of it, the dough will become heavy, will not be able to rise and will blur. Housewives have different attitudes towards eggs. Someone whips them and adds them to the dough, others separate the yolks from the whites. A thicker dough is obtained if you add some yolks, the proteins make the dough elastic and taut.
For the dough to be soft, a sense of proportion is important when adding vegetable or butter. Excess oil or fat will make the dough heavy. Salt is never added to the dough, as it suppresses yeast and the dough will not rise. For 1 kg of flour, only 10 grams of salt is required. It, like sugar, should be diluted in the liquid used.
Pressed yeast or dry yeast is used to prepare the dough. First you need to dissolve the pressed yeast in 200 grams of warm water and add a little sugar to it. Dry ones simply dissolve in warm liquid until smooth. They are left for a while until foam appears.
