Fast Yeast Dough

Pies, buns and some other products are more deliciously made from yeast dough. From the bland they seldom come out just as soft and lush. But not every housewife will undertake to prepare the dough with yeast, especially when it comes to pastry dough: butter and eggs make it heavier, it rises heavier, which is why it is usually the most troublesome sparred method. Traditional dough is kneaded with live yeast, after which you need 1-1, 5 hours to wait for it to rise, knead and wait another 40-60 minutes, when it rises again. The total time of its preparation is 2-3 hours, and all this time the preparation requires close attention from the chef: it needs to be protected from drafts, to ensure that it does not run away and does not over-acidify. Modern technology can significantly reduce this process. For this, instant yeasts are created. They are sold in a dry form, in the form of powder from crystals of elongated form, being packaged in small packages. With their help, you can knead fast yeast dough, spending on its preparation no more than an hour.

Cooking Features

A quick yeast dough is much easier to prepare than the traditional one; even an aspiring cook can safely tackle this task. But for this he needs to learn a few important points.

Not all dry yeast is suitable for making quick dough. On the bag with them there should be an indication that they are instant or fast-acting (they often indicate both). If there are no such marks on the package with the product, you are dealing with the usual dry yeast, of which the dough is prepared using the traditional technology, and this process takes a lot of time.
Instant yeast is a rapidly perishable product. If after violating the integrity of the packaging they are not used within 24 hours, the contents of the bag can be discarded - it will become useless.
On instant yeast the dough rises quickly, but it also falls off soon. It should be used immediately after its volume increases 2-2, 5 times. It is not necessary to wait for the re-raising of this test.
Normal yeast is activated before combining with flour and baking. To do this, they are poured with warm liquid with added sugar and waiting for the appearance of froth caps on the surface. Instant yeast does not need prior activation. They are immediately mixed with flour. However, the liquid in the dough must be added warm, sugar is also a required ingredient. Otherwise, even instant yeast will refuse to work.
The higher the quality of the flour, the tastier and richer it will turn out is baking. Foods from second-rate flour have an unpleasant grayish color and a specific flavor.
Flour must be sieved before use. Experienced cooks do it twice. This allows not only to rid the product of small litter and insect larvae, but also to saturate it with oxygen. After sifting, the flour becomes light, combines better with other ingredients without forming lumps. The dough from such flour rises better, baking from it turns out more tender and airy.
Instant yeast dough, just like regular, sensitive, is afraid of drafts. In order for it to rise well and not fall off, it must be put in a warm place and not disturbed.

Fast yeast dough is as versatile as traditional. It is suitable for all types of baking, for which use the dough prepared according to the classical technology on live yeast.
