Cooking Features
Dough for whites on dry yeast can be prepared by sponge and straight way. Usually it does not put a lot of muffin, so often do without cooking dough. The technology of kneading dough for whites depends on the type of yeast culture. Regardless of the recipe and dough preparation technology you need to know and consider a few points to get the expected result.
- It is possible to prepare dough for belyashes from any kind of flour, but traditionally for this dish use flour of the highest or first grade. Second-grade flour gives belyash an unpleasant grayish shade and a specific flavor.
- Flour before cooking any kind of dough. It is impossible to refuse this manipulation. It is needed not only to rid the product of insect larvae and small litter. Its main goal is to saturate the flour with oxygen. After sifting, it becomes easy, it is easy to combine with other components, preventing the formation of lumps. The dough made from it rises better, baking from it is more tender and airy.
- The less fat and eggs in the dough, the better it rises. If you have little time, use water as a liquid base, although the milk or kefir makes the dough more tender and does not dry out any longer.
- Dry yeast are of two kinds. Some of them (most often they are called active) are identical to extruded, but are used in smaller quantities. Usually 3 g of compressed yeast replace 1 g of dry. Instant dry yeast is made from other crops using innovative technology. They are fast-acting - the dough rises about 3 times faster than normal ones, but it also drops quickly. The technology of kneading dough on ordinary and instant dry yeast differs. Normal yeast is diluted with liquid with added sugar, after activation they are combined with other ingredients. Instant yeast does not need prior activation, they are immediately mixed with flour and other dry ingredients.
