Beljashi came to us from the Tatar cuisine and fell in love with many. But not everyone is ready to buy them in street eateries, since it is not known how high-quality and fresh products were used to make them. Experienced housewives make fried meat pies at home, but novice chefs can stop the need for kneading dough. The problem can be solved if there is a bread maker in the house. A clever unit will do almost everything for a cook, all you need is to lay products into it and choose a program. The dough for whites in the bread maker is prepared almost without the participation of the chef and almost always turns out perfect. Pies from it come out lush, tender, ruddy and crispy.
Cooking Features
In spite of the fact that the bread maker assumes the execution of the main work of kneading dough, it is up to the chef to perform certain operations. Having made a mistake at the preparatory stage, the expected result may not be obtained.
- Flour for whites, it is desirable to choose a high-quality, containing a large amount of gluten. This is especially important when the dough is prepared without yeast. Having a large amount of gluten in the flour will make the dough elastic.
- Flour before use must sift. The meaning of this manipulation is not only to clean the product from small litter. During sifting the flour is saturated with oxygen, becomes loose and light. From such flour products are obtained more gentle and airy than from wholemeal.
- If the dough contains eggs, they are shaken with a fork or whisk before placing it in the bread machine's bucket.
- The fresh dough is not immediately taken out of the breadmaker; it is necessary to allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes so that the gluten swells and the dough becomes more pliable.
- The temperature of products piled in the bread maker bucket is of great importance. Yeast dough requires warm ingredients. Hot water is needed for brewing. Following the recommendations in the recipe, you get the expected result.
If you rarely had to use a bread machine, then you may have a question about which mode to use for making dough for meat. If your unit has only one mode, designed for kneading dough, you need to use it - here it will be difficult to confuse something. Usually this mode is called “Kneading dough” or “Dough”. Some units have additional modes for making unleavened dough (for dumplings, noodles, and so on). If there is no yeast in the recipe for whites, then it is better to activate this program. If the bread maker does not have a single mode for kneading dough at all, which rarely happens, it is started in the main mode (“Bread”), but stopped before it goes to baking bread. The time depends on the model of the unit, you can clarify it in the instructions for the device.
