How to make baking soda dough

Many housewives habitually add vinegar slaked soda to the dough, and in some cases they extinguish the soda directly in a spoon. However, professionals believe that it is better to mix the soda with flour, and add the acidic ingredient, vinegar or sour cream, to the liquid fraction, and only then combine all the ingredients.

Yeast or chemical leavening agents (baking soda, ammonium carbonate, special baking powders, which are a mixture of different substances, including soda with ammonia) are added to the dough so that it bakes well, and the pies are soft, porous, airy. Yeast is used to make sour dough. In products with a high content of baked goods (sugar, fats, eggs), chemical leavening agents are used, since yeast is suppressed in the pastry dough, as a result, it does not loosen enough. During baking, heat does not penetrate into unbroken dough: the crust of the product turns black, and the middle remains unbaked.

The carbon dioxide released from the baking soda during baking loosens the dough. However, soda does not decompose completely in the dough, leaving non-volatile sodium salts in the cake, which give it an unpleasant specific aftertaste. By adding citric acid or any other acid to the dough, we achieve a more complete decomposition of the soda and thus improve the taste of the products.

To do everything right, the soda must be mixed with flour, and the acid must be added to the liquid or pastry. When mixing flour with liquid, soda and acid interact, and carbon dioxide begins to be released. Such a dough cannot be kneaded for a long time, especially in warm conditions, as the gas will escape and the dough will become dense again. Therefore, it is cooked in a cool place and, after kneading, is immediately molded and baked.

For 1 kilogram of flour, take half a teaspoon of soda and a quarter of a teaspoon of citric acid solution (a spoonful of crystalline citric acid is dissolved in two tablespoons of hot water; juice from one lemon corresponds to about 5 g of crystalline acid or two teaspoons of its solution). Acid can be replaced with sour milk, kefir, whey, sourdough, or sour fruit juices.

If the proportion of soda is chosen successfully, flour products are airy and have a beautiful golden yellowish color. Excess baking soda gives them a dark hue and an unpleasant salty bitter taste.

Now I will try to describe in detail how to make a dough for pies with kefir and soda. Both the dough and the pies themselves are prepared very simply, and the result is always stunning - the pies are tender, light, fluffy and very tasty. I used a potato-mushroom filling, but instead of it you can use cabbage, meat, liver - according to your desire and taste.

So, to make fried pies from kefir and soda dough, take products from the list of ingredients for the recipe.

Pour room temperature kefir into a deep bowl and add chicken eggs. For convenience, they can be shaken in a separate bowl.

Pour in salt, pour in vegetable oil and mix a little. Pour in soda. The mass will begin to make noise, fluff and increase before our eyes.

Stir slowly, add twice sifted flour. Sifting is important!

Pour flour in small portions, stir each time after adding.

When all the flour is gone and the dough will be hard to mix in a bowl, put it on the work surface and continue kneading for another 15-20 minutes.

The dough should not stick to your hands or to the countertop. She will be docile, obedient and gentle. Put it in a bowl, cover with a napkin to rest. And at this moment we ourselves will start preparing the filling.

Cut the washed mushrooms into small cubes or in any shape and fry in a minimum amount of oil until golden brown.

Boil peeled potatoes in salted water, and then mash with a fork.

Combine potatoes with mushrooms, add salt and black pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.

Cut 1/3 of the total dough piece and roll it into a roller. Cut it in turn into small equal parts. Roll each part into a cake 5-7 mm thick. Place the filling in the center.

Pinch the edges, and then press a little with your palm, shaping the pie. Similarly, mold pies from the remaining dough.

Pour vegetable oil into the pan and lay out the blanks of the pies.

Fry on each side until golden brown over low heat. Put the finished pies on a napkin to remove excess oil.

Fried pies made from kefir and soda dough prepared according to this recipe always turn out tender, airy, soft and very tasty.

Enjoy your meal. Cook with love.

Today I will tell you how my aunt taught me how to make fluffy soda dough, which saves absolutely in all cases, even when guests come unexpectedly. If in the old days I made pie in the oven, dumplings, cookies, buns and fried pies extremely rarely, mainly on weekends, now I know amazing secrets that allow you to cook these and many other goodies without much time. If you are also experiencing a shortage of time, while always wanting to pamper your loved ones with culinary masterpieces, I suggest taking note of some amazing recipes. They will help you quickly prepare a cupcake, manna, and many other goodies.

Fried pies are especially popular in my family. I am sure that your loved ones will not give up fresh, aromatic and soft products with potatoes and other fillings. Cooking them in a pan, you will spend a minimum of time. In addition, you do not need to run to the grocery store, since the dough for pies with soda and water, as well as the filling, are prepared from products that are always available in the kitchen.

To make fried pies in water using baking soda, you need to take:

• flour - 2 cups;
• sunflower oil - 3 tablespoons;
• plain water;
• baking soda and salt - 0.5 tsp each;
• frying oil.

The pies are prepared as follows:

1. Pour the specified amount of oil into a glass and fill the container with water.
2. Take the dishes for kneading the dough, pour out the prepared liquid, add soda and salt, and mix everything thoroughly.
3. Add flour to the solution and knead the dough so that it is elastic and does not stick to your hands.
4. Roll the mass into a sausage, cut into pieces (in most cases, up to 15 pieces are obtained).
5. Prepare the filling (I do it with apples, so I cook it in a matter of minutes, if you want to make it with potatoes and other ingredients, take care of them in advance).
6. Roll out the pieces, place the filling in the center, mold the pies and fry on both sides until golden brown.

This dough can be made with both salty and sweet fillings. The result is incredibly tasty, soft products that grow in size. But if you want to cook them with jam, then pay attention to one nuance - the filling should be soaked in starch so that it does not "crawl out".

Kefir dumplings with soda

Lush dumplings for a couple, and even with berries - this is an incredible pleasure. The whole secret of the airiness and lightness of the dough is in soda and kefir. The finished dish looks like there is yeast in the dough. If you didn’t manage to steam the dumplings, and they were constantly “blown away” or didn’t grow at all, I suggest using my tricks.

Prepare the following ingredients:

Kefir and soda pies do not always turn out to be as soft, airy and fluffy as we would like. Sometimes they give off soda, do not bake well or do not rise and remain flat. So what is the secret of delicious kefir pies? To prepare the perfect pie dough, you need to know 3 tricks: which kefir is better to take and what to add to it so that the dough does not break when sculpting, and also when to put soda.

Secrets of delicious kefir pies

• 1. 
     In no case do not take fat-free kefir, otherwise the pies will turn out flat and will not rise. Kefir should be of maximum fat content, it is advisable to mix it with sour cream - the dough will remain moist for a long time and will not dry out.
  1. 
     It is better to take kefir not fresh, but "old", almost expired - the older, the stronger it is, it contains a lot of lactic acid bacteria, and a large amount of acid guarantees an active reaction with soda. Combining with an acidic environment, soda forms millions of bubbles that will raise the dough and bake, the pies will turn out to be fluffy and airy.
  2. 
     So that the dough does not break when molding, you need to add vegetable oil directly to it. It contains linolenic acid, which literally "sticks" together the flour cells.
  1. 
     A very important point - how to make sure that the pies do not taste like soda, and the soda quickly and effectively lifts the dough? Baking soda is added to the dough to loosen and quenched with kefir on its own. The main thing is to correctly introduce it into the dough. You should not add directly to kefir, since all the carbon dioxide will be in the air, but not in the dough. Soda should be introduced when half of the flour is already in the dough. In this case, she will react with kefir and immediately begin to raise the flour.

Kefir dough for pies has a neutral taste, so it is suitable for both salty and sweet fillings. Having certain skills, it is not difficult to work with him, and from the second or third time, modeling will take only 5-10 minutes. The result is always excellent - the pies are airy, large and fluffy, remain soft the second day after cooking.

• 3.2% kefir 250 ml
• 
  20% sour cream 2 tbsp. l.
• 
  yolk 1 pc.
• 
  salt 1 tsp
• 
  sugar 1 tbsp. l.
• 
  flour 400 g
• 
  soda 0.5 tsp
• 
  sunflower oil in dough 1 tbsp. l
• 
  sunflower oil for frying 150 ml

Remove the stewpan from the heat and pour the warm kefir-sour cream mixture into a deep bowl. Add salt, sugar, sunflower oil, as well as the yolk, pre-shaken with a fork. Mix everything with a whisk.

Then add half of the flour (sifted), add baking soda, mix, and then add all the remaining flour

Dip our hands in vegetable oil and collect the sticky dough into a bun. We transfer it to a board sprinkled with flour and knead

Grease the bowl with vegetable oil and put the kneaded dough into it (we also grease it on top with a couple of drops of oil). We tighten the bowl with cling film and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes - during this time the soda will have time to react and the pies will not have an unpleasant aftertaste

Lubricate the work surface with a small amount of vegetable oil. We dip our hands in butter and, squeezing the dough between the thumb and forefinger, we squeeze balls out of it in size, like a chicken egg. The output is 11 pieces.

Stretch the dough balls with your fingers, forming cakes with a diameter of 10 cm. Knead them so that the middle is slightly thicker and the edges are slightly thinner. (It is convenient to work on a silicone mat or on a floured board.)

We put the filling inside the cakes and form the cakes. Press them lightly so that the height is no more than 1 centimeter. The filling can be sweet or salty (I have potatoes with refried onion and chopped green dill dressing).

We heat refined vegetable oil for frying - you need to take so much so that it reaches the middle of the dough products (approximately 150-170 ml). Put the pies in the pan with the seam down.

Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browning. It is better to take a frying pan with a thick bottom, it does not need to be covered with a lid, the heat should be moderate so that the pies do not burn, but are baked well.

Put the finished pies on one side in a plate with a paper towel so that all the excess fat is gone.

We serve the dish warm or cold. Ruddy and fluffy pies on kefir are perfectly baked, very soft and tasty.

Many people associate the aroma of freshly baked pastries with their home. Just imagine: a crispy white tablecloth, a slice of grandmother's airy pie, strawberry jam and a cup of tea. I immediately wanted to recreate such a cozy and homely atmosphere! Delicious family-style homemade baked goods are made with the right preparation and kneading of baking soda.

How to make a fluffy batter with baking soda

Even an inexperienced housewife can surprise a family with delicious soda pies. And over time, such a dough will become your favorite, since it does not require special products and long cooking.

Each housewife has her own secrets of making pastry dough.

Making soda dough is as easy as shelling pears:

• Step 1: Mix 250 g of butter at room temperature with one egg;
• Step 2: pour a glass of water or milk into this mixture;
• Step 3: add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of baking soda to the dough;
• Step 4: sift the flour and add it gradually into the dough, stirring thoroughly. It will take about 3 glasses;
• Step 5: Leave the dough to "rest" for 20 minutes, and then roll out small pieces and sculpt pies.

Helpful hint: before adding soda to the mass, it should be quenched with vinegar. The dough should be plastic, not stick to your hands. Pies are just as good as yeast. The plus is that it does not take a lot of time to prepare the dough, waiting for the dough itself to come up.

Why do you need to extinguish soda? The key to the success of delicious homemade baked goods is the saturation of the dough mass with air bubbles. The lightness of the dough is given by carbon dioxide, which is released when heated and the interaction of sodium bicarbonate with an acidic medium. And in order for it to form, the soda powder must be extinguished. If the prepared mass contains fermented milk products, for example, kefir, then you do not need to extinguish the soda.

Filling options for pies

Thanks to kefir, fried pies acquire a delicate texture, and if you cook them with a filling, you’ll just lick your fingers! We offer several options for the most popular.

Quick recipes

• Potato filling

The potato filling is quite simple to prepare: boil 1 kg of potatoes, salt, and then make mashed potatoes. There is no need to add milk or water, as the mixture must be dry so that it does not leak out during frying. You can fry finely chopped onions in butter and mix with potato mass. This will give the filling a distinctive flavor.

Pies are a favorite treat for the whole family

• Cabbage filling

Finely chop 400 g cabbage, one onion and one carrot. Fry vegetables in a skillet with vegetable oil for about 10 minutes. Then add water and extinguish. You can diversify the filling: add 200 g of minced pork or finely chopped chicken fillet to the cabbage.

• With egg and onion

The most uncomplicated, but loved by many filling, the preparation of which will take 10-15 minutes. It is with her that grandmothers fry soda pies for their grandchildren. Fast and tasty.

Hard boil 10 eggs. While they are cooling, chop the green onions. Then chop the eggs, add onions and a spoonful of sour cream to them. Done! Put a spoonful of the egg-onion mixture into the dough circles with soda, pinch the edges and in the frying pan!
