Subtleties of cooking

Ready-made dough is a very convenient option. But how many preservatives it contains and what kind of margarine was used for kneading is anyone’s guess. Therefore, it is still worth mastering its preparation yourself.

Depending on the technology, puff pastry is classified as classic or simplified. According to the classic recipe, kneading is carried out without oil. Then the butter is rolled into a layer of dough, everything is wrapped, cooled, rolled out again with a new portion of butter, cooled again, and so on 10-12 times. The process is labor intensive. Perhaps this is why the coveted croissants do not turn out as airy as in a cafe. After all, machines do all the work there.

The main ingredient of puff pastry is butter. That is why it should be cold, and the finished dough should lie in the refrigerator for at least an hour. When baking, the butter evaporates moisture, which creates voids in the dough. If you have a special processor for kneading dough, it is better to use it. Then the contact of oil with your hands will be minimal.

Cooks have a few more cooking tips:

• Take only the highest grade flour and be sure to sift it immediately before kneading. The extra oxygen will make the dough fluffy.
• Salt and vinegar or citric acid must be added. Salt adds crunch and the acidity increases the quality of the gluten in the dough. Then it will roll out into a large thin layer without breaking.
• Water can be replaced with milk, but the liquid should not be icy, but very cold.
• You cannot skimp on margarine; some can be replaced with butter - the higher the fat content, the better. The margarine should be very cold, but not frozen, otherwise hard pieces will break through the dough and ruin its structure.
• You can improve the layering of the dough by additional rolling. To do this, place the dough on a table or board, roll it out into a layer, fold it into quarters and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Roll it out again (do not knead it under any circumstances), fold it again and cool.
• You need to cut the dough into portions with a very sharp knife, otherwise the edges will wrinkle and the structure will be broken.
• If the dough is used for crusts or as a pizza base, it must be thoroughly pricked with a fork before baking. Then when baking it will not rise with large bubbles.
• It is better to grease the finished products before baking with yolk and only on top, this will allow them to rise.
• The optimal temperature for baking is 220 degrees. The puff pastry will have time to rise, but will not form a hard crust.

You can pamper your loved ones with other types of homemade baked goods.

• Lush, rosy homemade recipes will put everyone in the household in a happy mood. Of course, homemade cheesecakes are much tastier than store-bought ones.
• – not the healthiest, but such a tasty delicacy. They cook so quickly that they will be a great option for breakfast or a quick dessert for unexpected guests.
• The aroma is the most desired aroma from childhood. Everyone loves cherries, and everyone loves pies too.
• Soft, aromatic drinks should be washed down with milk or cocoa only. How could it be otherwise, because they are another reminder of the summer holidays spent in the village.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface. One sheet of dough should form a square, about two millimeters thick. Cut it into four parts.

Place 1-2 teaspoons of filling on each square. No more keeping the curd from seeping through the dough and sticking to the baking sheet. Then it will be very difficult to separate the puff pastry from such a surface.

Fold the puff pastry squares in half to create filled triangles. How I do this and what happens in the end can be seen in the photo.
