Cooking features
The technology for preparing cheesecake dough can be different. To obtain the expected result, you must strictly follow the instructions accompanying the selected recipe. However, there are several rules that must be followed regardless of the test option chosen. Knowing them will be useful to any cook.
- The dough for cheesecakes can be anything. But both yeast and unleavened dough are usually made rich for them. Only then will these open filled buns turn out truly delicious.
- The quality of flour greatly affects the taste of the finished products. From second-grade flour they turn out less fluffy, grayish in appearance and have an unpleasant aftertaste. For cheesecakes, use high quality flour.
- Flour must be sifted before combining with other ingredients. The purpose of this manipulation is not only to rid the product of small debris and mealy moth larvae, but to saturate it with oxygen. After sifting, the flour becomes light, easier to mix with other ingredients without forming lumps. Dough made from such flour rises faster. Baking from it turns out more tender and airy.
- The most fluffy cheesecakes are made from yeast dough. To prepare it, you need to use warm liquid, otherwise the yeast will not be activated. The optimal temperature is 30-35 degrees. In a cold environment, the yeast will not work; hot liquid will kill it.
- Baking makes the dough heavier. To ensure that it rises, a sponge method is used to prepare it. If there is a need to slightly simplify or speed up the process, use the straight method, but add a little more yeast to the dough. Using instant yeast can significantly speed up the process of preparing yeast dough.
- Yeast dough will rise only in a warm room. It also needs to be protected from drafts, otherwise the dough will fall off.
- The simplest dough for cheesecakes is liquid. It is usually used to make royal cheesecake. But if you do not pour the dough into a large mold, but pour it into small molds, you will be able to make small cheesecakes. They can even be given an unusual shape.
