Cooking Features
The technology of making pastry dough on kefir depends on the recipe chosen, because it can be bland and yeast, with or without eggs. However, there are several subtleties, the knowledge of which will help the hostess to cope with the task in the best way.
- Dough flour must be sieved. The purpose of this procedure is to saturate it with oxygen, so that the patties are airy and tender. At the same time, the flour is cleaned from small litter, which is also important.
- Kefir for dough should be taken with a fat content of at least 3,2%, otherwise the dough will not be sufficiently lush and the products will quickly blacken. Some housewives even mix kefir with sour cream so that their patties remain soft for a long time.
- For yeast dough on kefir products take warm. Kefir is heated in a water bath to about 30 degrees. It is impossible to warm more strongly, otherwise it will be curtailed. Eggs and other foods are taken out of the refrigerator in advance so that they can warm up to room temperature.
- Often, vegetable oil is added to the patty dough mixed in kefir; it adds elasticity to the dough. It is advisable to use a refined product, since unrefined oil under the influence of high temperatures can form harmful substances.
- If you put yeast dough on kefir, remember that it needs heat. The kitchen should not be too low temperature. It is important to protect the dough from drafts, otherwise it will not rise or fall off.
- If you are preparing kefir dough for pies without yeast, you can not do without baking powder. Most often in its quality use soda. When to lay it in the dough, the cook decides. If you put the soda directly into kefir, it will quench it, there will be no soda taste in the pies, but there is a risk that the reaction will stop before the cakes are cooked, which is why they will not rise. Adding soda at the very end, you can not ensure its full dissolution in the dough, because of which the cakes will have an unpleasant taste of soda. Experienced housewives prefer to first mix the kefir with a small amount of flour, then add soda to it, then add the remaining flour. Another option is to mix the soda and flour right away, inject them into the liquid mixture together.
- Kefir for dough is better to use yesterday or even the day before yesterday - in such a product there are more lactic acid bacteria that will ensure a good neutralization reaction when this product contacts soda.
