International classics are seasonal berry, open-top tarts and filling in thin crust. The thinner the dough, the more fun! However, alas, where it is thin - there it breaks. Therefore, the most important thing is not to miss the dough, and the rest will come of itself.
Baking with strawberries is relevant in the summer, but most pies can be baked not only with fresh berries, but also frozen. Products are prepared from almost any dough: puff, shortcrust, yeast, lean. Moreover, even a frozen purchase is suitable. Place the strawberry filling either inside the cake or on top. It goes well with cream, custard and sour cream. And to get a brighter taste, other berries are added to the filling, such as cherries, red currants, apricots, rhubarb, raspberries, cherries.
Secrets of delicious baking
It's no secret that naturally grown strawberries are poorly stored and keep their shape. Therefore, having laid it out for dessert, it will give juice, flow and spoil the appearance of the treat. There are two ways to solve this problem.
- The first is to use homemade berries in the filling, and greenhouse berries for decoration. The latter are more dense. Of course, they are not so tasty and have practically no aroma, but they look beautiful and are stored wonderfully.
- The second is more complicated. Fresh berries are poured with a thin layer of jelly, which will fix the strawberries well and prevent them from spreading. For this, jelly is used, either ordinary on the basis of gelatin, or special for coating confectionery products. The latter is transparent and colored. The red color will just accentuate the shade of the strawberry.
Classic culinary combination - strawberry with cream. However, the berry is also very harmoniously combined with other dairy products. For example, strawberries with cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, chocolate and custard are distinguished by an amazing taste. If the base of the cream is cottage cheese, then it is carefully rubbed through a sieve beforehand so that there are no lumps. Diet pasty cottage cheese is also suitable, it contains little fat, from which the cream will be lighter.
Strawberry Pie Dough
Surely many even know that there is such a profession as a kneader. Yes, it sounds mysterious, but there is nothing strange here. This is the person who kneads the dough. And everything seems to be simple, but the profession is akin to an “alchemist”. Since the preparation of ordinary dough, as it seems at first glance, is not only the mixing of products, but a whole art, thanks to which amazing culinary masterpieces are born. Earlier they said: "dough, like people - a living organism, what kind of mood, such is the result." And it is true, because the dough lives its own life. If you do not find an approach to it, then everything, write, is lost! Therefore, I propose to arm yourself with a good mood, a set of necessary components and act as "alchemists". This section of the article will help you! You will learn the important subtleties of dough preparation.
- There are no particular problems with flour. For all recipes, I recommend paying attention to the color when choosing it, the whiter it is, the better. The gluten index is also important. This is a complex of protein properties that provide the viscosity of the dough. Its content must be at least 24%. This indicator is printed on the packaging of the product.
- The most fluffy and soft dough is yeast. The recipes for their preparation are somewhat different, but the main ingredients remain the same. The dough must include: yeast, flour, eggs, sugar, salt, butter / margarine and liquid (kefir, water, milk). The quality of the dough depends on the freshness of the food.
- Poor yeast quality will lead to poor results. When buying them, pay attention to the color and smell, especially of the pressed product. Their color should not be very dark, but the aroma, on the contrary, should be a pleasant alcoholic one.
- All foods should be at room temperature, otherwise the yeast dough is slower and will not work well.
- Do not overdo it with sugar, otherwise the pies will burn.
- The second most popular dough is puff pastry, it can be yeast-free (unleavened) and yeast. It is prepared in a variety of ways, while there are basic subtleties. It usually contains flour, butter, milk, egg, sugar and salt.
- Butter / margarine for puff pastry is used only cold, not frozen, otherwise the layers of dough will break and it will be difficult to roll it out. The fattier the butter, the thicker the dough.
- Conversely, with shortbread dough, use butter at room temperature.
- Many people are skeptical about adding salt. However, it does affect the taste, quality and firmness of the dough. At the same time, too much of it will make the dough worse, small - the layers will blur.
- The more times the puff pastry is rolled out, the more layers will come out. Remember: you need to roll it in one direction (away from yourself). The prepared dough is folded in half or four times and sent to the refrigerator for half an hour. The chilled dough will not stick to the baking sheet.
- Cut the dough with an exceptionally sharp knife, then it will rise well. A dull knife will crush the edges, which will affect the splendor.
- Before baking, punctures are made on the surface of the puff pastry sheet with a fork or knife, through which steam will escape.
