- If the dough is tough, do not sprinkle flour on the work surface when molding the products. Lubricate her hands with a small amount of vegetable oil.
- If you add a lot of granulated sugar, the dough will not rise well. If you shift the yeast, the baked goods will taste bad.
- To make the dough less rich, but more fluffy, add not butter, but vegetable oil to it. On this it will turn out delicious: pies, pies, pizza, pies, rolls. And buns, cakes will be excellent if the dough is made in butter or margarine for baking.
