Secrets for test 1.

1. Always add diluted potato starch to the dough - rolls and pies will be fluffy and soft even the next day.
Main condition delicious pies- lush, well-risen dough: the flour for the dough must be sifted: foreign impurities are removed from it, and it is enriched with atmospheric oxygen

2. In any dough (except for dumplings, puff, custard, shortbread), that is, dough for pies, pancakes, bread, pancakes - always add “zhmenu” (about a tablespoon with a slide) semolina to half a liter of liquid. The nuns taught: “Earlier, the highest quality bread was cooked from grains. It did not dry out for a long time and was lush. Now there is no grain. Now add semolina zhmenu and there will always be good pastries. ” This is such invaluable advice.

3. Add to the dough, in addition to milk, half a glass of mineral water. Dilute a teaspoon of soda in half a glass of water and lightly extinguish it citric acid or vinegar.
Baking really turns out great. Even the rest of the next day is fluffy.

4. There should be no draft in the room where the dough is cut: it contributes to the formation of a very dense crust on the pie.

5. When kneading yeast dough all food should be warm or at room temperature, food from the refrigerator slows down the rise of the dough
6. For yeast products, the liquid should always be heated to 30-35ºС, as yeast fungi in a liquid having a lower or high temperature, lose their activity

7. When you knead the dough, your hands should be dry.

8. Before putting the products in the oven, they are allowed to come up for 15-20 minutes. Let the dough rest completely before baking. With incomplete proofing, it rises poorly and the pies do not bake for a long time.

9. Bake pies on a baking sheet over medium heat so that the filling does not dry out.

10. It is best to add unmelted butter to the dough (yeast and fresh-baked), as melted butter worsens the structure of the dough.

11. Pies cooked in milk are more tasty and fragrant, the crust after baking is shiny with a beautiful color.

12. Yeast for dough should be fresh, with a pleasant alcoholic smell. Check yeast beforehand. To do this, prepare a small portion of dough and sprinkle with a layer of flour. If no cracks appear after 30 minutes, the quality of the yeast is poor.

Rising and baking yeast dough in milk!
This method is interesting for raising and baking yeast dough in milk. The baked goods are amazing. Who has not tried, be sure to try.

1. We make any sweet dough. Everything is as usual: we make rolls, pies, rolls, etc. Spread on a sheet with a high side. On a sheet of paper, who is too lazy to wash the sheet later, only the sides should match the height of the sides of the form, otherwise milk leaks under the paper during baking.

2. Fill with WARM SWEET MILK or cream. In milk, you can add a spoonful of sour cream. At half the height of the buns (about 1 cm, because the buns are about 2 cm high), pour directly over the buns. It is not necessary to grease with an egg. Pour pigtails and grease with the same milk.

3. Cover with a film (or a glass sheet from the oven) and put in a warm place. For example, we put it on the stove, and the oven at this time is already turned on by 100 degrees.

4. Before baking, the rolls should grow 2.5 times, and the milk should be partially absorbed.
We put in the oven, the temperature is 200 degrees. Milk starts to boil almost immediately. Until the milk boils away, the rolls remain pale and continue to rise. Do not be afraid of the smell of burnt milk, the rolls do not burn!!!

But as soon as the milk has boiled away, in just 5 minutes the rolls are reddened and can be pulled out.
When pressed, baking restores its shape by 100%, while the dough is tender and airy.

P.S. It is interesting that with cream there are no wet corners and it was tastier. So that you can pour and cream.

Meringue: A Dessert Out of Air The History of Meringue (Kiss)

Meringue, or meringue, is the lightest, most delicate and romantic dessert. Slightly crunchy, but melting in your mouth… Pure bliss. As befits a dish with such a name, the history of its origin is shrouded not in one, but in a whole tangle of legends.

There are three versions of the birth of the dessert that conquered everyone - from French monarchs to Soviet children. The first tells about the extravagant Swiss confectioner Gasparini, a native of the city of Meiringen. Once, not knowing where to put the unclaimed proteins, he simply whipped them with sugar into a strong foam and baked. Since then extra proteins he didn't have any left. By the way, the origin of the second name of meringue, meringue, is associated with the name of this city.

The second legend tells about the resourceful French chef Francois Massialo, in support of this version they even provide documentary evidence: a book where the author described the recipe. And the third story sends us to Poland to the cook of King Stanislav I Leshchinsky. Allegedly, it was he who invented the recipe for magical pastries, and then shared it with French gourmets.

English cuisine.
Eccles Cake or "puff with flies".

Eccles Cake is popularly nicknamed "dead fly pie" because of the currants that can be seen under a thin layer of dough. In fact, we are talking about one of the oldest types of sweet pastries in the UK. The recipe for the pie has been known since at least the middle of the 18th century. It is not known who invented their recipe, but it is believed that James Birch was the first person to start selling puffs commercially. He traded them in his shop at the junction of Vikeridge Road and St. Mary's Road (now Church Street) from 1793. The recipe first appeared in one of the first cookbooks, and a few years later - in the bakery of James Birch on one of the central streets of the town of Eccles in the suburbs of Manchester.

Due to the impressive age of the pie, today it is very difficult to find out which of its recipes is original. The fact is that for several centuries the baking process itself has undergone many changes: starting with the fact that dry yeast or baking powder that raises the dough in an hour, and ending with the quality of various ingredients, have become quite widely used. In addition, French brandy is needed for preparation ... But the process itself is very simple.

Classical french baguette

The source of the recipe is Peter Reinhart's new book "Artisan Breads Every Day".
The dough of this baguette is made in advance and put in the refrigerator, where it can stand up to 4 days, it is very convenient. Then all you have to do is take the dough out of the refrigerator, form baguettes and bake them after 1.5 hours of proofing. Thus, after 2 hours you will have delicious fresh bread. And also from the dough you can make not only baguettes, but also ordinary white bread or buns. Negative side, you must be sure that the dough will be used up within 4 days, again - 4 days is not enough.
The recipe is for 2 large loaves of bread, or 4 baguettes, or many rolls.
Dough:

* 680 gr. wheat bread flour
* 14 gr. salt
* 7 gr. dry yeast
* 450 gr. a little warm water

Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix. If you are mixing with a food processor, then mix with a spatula, on low speed for 1 minute. If you knead with your hands, then stir with a large spoon so that everything mixes well, if the dough sticks strongly to the spoon, then dip it, sometimes, into a cup with warm water. The dough should make a shaggy ball. Let the dough rest uncovered for 5 minutes.
In a food processor, change the spatula to the hook and knead the dough on medium speed for 2 minutes or by hand, also 2 minutes, add water or flour as needed to make a dough desired consistency. The dough should be smooth, elastic and slightly sticky, but not sticky to your hands.
However you knead the dough, transfer it to a lightly floured work surface and knead with your hands for about 1 minute, then place it in a clean, lightly greased oven. oil, a large enough bowl. Cover the cup with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate immediately, overnight or up to 4 days. If the dough is too wet and sticky, do not add more flour, but rather stretch and fold it once or more every 10 minutes, as shown here, before putting the dough in the refrigerator. (If you are going to bake the dough in batches in various days, then you can divide the dough into pieces and place it in two or more oiled bowls and refrigerate.)

Day of baking:

Take the dough out of the refrigerator about 2 hours before you are going to bake it. Gently transfer it to a lightly floured work surface, handling it carefully so that as little gas comes out as possible. For baguettes, divide the cold dough into 4 parts, for white bread into 2 pieces, or for buns into pieces weighing approximately 53 g of a piece.
Shape the dough into round or oval loaves, or baguettes, or buns. Spray the top of the rast. oil (I only sprinkled one baguette with oil, sprinkled the rest cornmeal), loosely cover with plastic wrap, leave to proof at room temperature for 1.5 hours, so that the volume increases by one and a half times.

Croissants are the sweet symbol of France

Without those puff pastry buns french breakfast is simply unthinkable. They are traditionally served with coffee or hot chocolate. True, crescent-shaped bagels, which have long become a delicious symbol of France, were not invented by the French at all. This is an invention of the Viennese bakers, according to.


The recipe for croissants was brought to France by Marie Antoinette of Austria. Viennese bagels were first baked in a cafe on rue de Richelieu: in 1839 an Austrian bakery was opened there.

The combination of a golden crispy crust with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth filling - chocolate, cheese, berry jam, butter cream ... such a dessert is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent.

Recipe: Chocolate Filled Croissants

You will need: for the dough - 300 g butter, 200 ml milk, 4 g salt, 50 g cornstarch, 2 raw yolks, 10 g dry yeast, 50 g sugar, 500 g wheat flour. For the filling: 10 g butter, 10 ml fatty heavy cream, 50 g dark chocolate. For lubrication: 20 ml milk, 10 g sugar.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand for 10 minutes. Sift flour together with starch into a bowl, add sugar, salt, yolks, milk, 50 g of melted butter and then yeast mass. Mix everything well. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes elastic. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap cling film and refrigerate for 4 hours. Wrap 250 g of cold butter in cling film and beat well with a rolling pin. Then add 40 g of flour to the butter, put it on parchment paper, forming a square with a rolling pin, and refrigerate for at least 50 minutes. Take the dough out of the refrigerator, make a cross cut in the middle, stretch the dough into a square and roll it into a layer, put cold butter in the middle, wrap the dough around the butter and pinch the edges of the seam. From above, press with a rolling pin, turn the layer over and repeat the procedure. Roll out the dough in the shape of a rectangle. It is important to remember in which plane you roll it out, and the tails without oil must be cut off on both sides. Fold the dough into 3 layers, wrap with cling film and refrigerate for 50 minutes. Then form the dough into a rectangle again (roll in the same plane!), roll into 3 layers and let rest in the refrigerator for an hour. Repeat all these steps 4 times, after which it is advisable to leave the dough in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning you need to roll it thinly, divide it into strips, and cut long triangles out of them. For the filling, mix melted chocolate (already cooled), softened butter and cream. On the triangles, make small cuts (about 1 cm long), put the stuffing over the cuts on each and roll into a bagel (in the form of a crescent). Put the finished products on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and oiled, cover with cling film and let rise for 40 minutes. After this time, grease the bagels with milk mixed with sugar and put in an oven preheated to 180 ° for 20-25 minutes.
