To make pastries tasty, you need to prepare a good, airy and soft dough. After all, it is by him that not only baked goods are evaluated, but also the hostess herself: how skillful she is.

There are a lot of recipes. After all, it happens not only for buns, but also for pies, pizza, Easter cakes. The list can be very long. Also, the flour mixture can be both shortbread and butter.

Many use the methods that they inherited from their mothers and grandmothers. But not everyone is so lucky. Novice housewives are constantly looking for their own option. They are looking for, interested in friends or relatives. But even kneading it exactly according to the recipe, there is a chance that it will not work for you.

After all, even an experienced hostess sometimes fails. You don't always want to show the result of your masterpiece. And all because the products came out not quite so airy and tasty.

There are simply rules that you need to know and always apply. The exception of any item will lead to another failure.

Today I will share with you not only my cooking secrets, but also several recipes that will not leave you indifferent. And you will definitely want to bake something!

Many of us make our own instead of buying it from the store. And of course, they are faced with the fact that it does not always turn out the way we would like. It's simple, there are a few rules, the observance of which will help us make it lush and soft.

1. Yeast: They should only be fresh. Always check the date of manufacture and expiration date. Believe me, but in the store you can really buy them already expired.

2. Milk or any other liquid that you use in cooking should be warm. Never use food from the refrigerator for steaming. Yeast starts to work only at a warm temperature. Warm up a little more than room temperature. It will be the perfect environment for them.

3. Butter also should not be cold or hot. It is melted in a water bath so that useful properties are not lost, and cooled a little. Hot yeast will simply die and you will have to start all over again.

5. Flour: always pass it through a sieve. Do not neglect this point. Since in the process it is saturated with oxygen, which gives our products splendor and airiness. It would be better if you do this more than once.

6. Eggs: the product itself depends on their quantity. If you need butter, then they put more than usual for pies. For 3 pieces you need 20 grams of yeast.

7. Severity: the dough will take longer to rise if you overdo it with sugar, eggs and butter.

8. Salt: don't neglect it. It gives the products a taste, as if shading sugar. Even a very small amount of it will not allow the product to become insipid.

9. Temperature: In order for the dough to ferment well, it needs warmth. Choose the warmest place in the room and use it to raise. If not, then use the oven. Warm it up for two minutes, check the temperature with your hand (it should not be hot in it). This method allows you to reduce the time of infusion.

10. Mixer: when mixing, do not use mechanical devices. Of course, they make our task much easier, but the dough loves affection. Therefore, it is better to use a whisk or a spoon, and when their use becomes impossible, use your hands.

11. A flour product is considered ready when it is sticky, but does not stick to the hands. If it's not like that, then there's not enough flour.

12. Time: the longer we crumple it, the more carbon dioxide comes out, which helps oxygenate our mass.

13. Draft: The dough does not like it when the room is windy. This cools him, which means that he will not be so obedient and will not be lush. The oven should also not be opened, so as not to cool it. Avoid temperature fluctuations.

14. Mood: always cook only in a good mood. Then not only the products will be tasty, but also everything that you cook.
