The presence of a bread machine in the house facilitates the process of home baking. But the majority of these units are capable of not only baking bread, but also kneading dough. This feature is useful to those who are planning to make dumplings. The dough for ravioli in the bread maker is prepared in 15-20 minutes. Almost all actions necessary for its kneading will be done by the unit itself. The hostess needs only to pick up a recipe, prepare the products, lay them in the bucket of the device, run the desired program and wait a bit.
Cooking Features
The process of making dough for ravioli using a bread maker is simple. The hostess does not need to make an effort, wondering if the dough is ready or kneading should be continued to make it more steep. The programs incorporated in the bread makers by the manufacturers provide for the performance of the necessary operations in the optimal mode and exactly as much as necessary. With the help of smart technology, even an inexperienced baker will be able to cook the perfect dough without spending a lot of time and effort. However, he also needs to know and take a few moments into account in order to get a perfect result.
- One of the simplest tasks that a cook needs to solve when preparing dough for ravioli in a bread maker is to choose a suitable program. Similar programs are provided in almost all models of units for the preparation of home baking, but manufacturers call them differently. Most often in units there is a mode “Dough” or “Dough kneading”, suitable for preparing any kind of dough, including dumplings. However, some devices are equipped with an even more suitable function, which may be called “Dough dumplings”, “Unleavened dough”, “Dough for dumplings”, “Noodle dough” or otherwise. All of these programs are designed to make yeast-free dough, which is exactly what is needed for dumplings. If your bread maker has a similar program, you need to activate it. Separate bread machines do not even have the function of kneading dough, but if you put the necessary products in them, activate the main program, but stop its work ahead of time (after 15-20 minutes), you will get the result you need.
- Despite the fact that the bread maker does most of the work of preparing the dough for the cook herself, he will still have to do some operations with his own hands. We are talking about beating eggs and sifting flour.
- Sifting flour, the cook not only cleans it of litter, but also nourishes it with oxygen. It becomes lighter and friable, the dough is tender.
- After completing the dough kneading program, you should not be in a hurry to remove it from the breadmaker and make dumplings from it. The dough must be left in the tank of the unit for half an hour, so that it lay down. During this time, the gluten contained in the flour will swell well, and the dough will be elastic, it will be easy to roll.
- The elasticity of dough depends on the quality of the flour. For dumplings it is better to use high-quality flour with a high content of gluten. Then the dough will be more durable, will not break through when cooking dumplings.
- Do not roll the dough for dumplings too thin, 2-3 mm will be enough.
Cooking dumplings should also be a special technology. First boil water. Then dumplings are lowered into it in small batches or even one by one, immediately stirred with a spoon. Cook dumplings in plenty of water, stirring from time to time. After surfacing, the dumplings are cooked for about 5 minutes, but the exact cooking time depends on the size of the products.
