Cooking features

The dough with whey is prepared according to the same principles as with water and milk. It can be yeasty or unleavened, regular or rich, liquid or steep. The composition and technology for preparing the dough may depend on the specific recipe, but there are several rules that should be followed in any case.

Whey can be stored in the refrigerator for some time, but over time it also deteriorates. For the test, it is advisable to use fresh whey or one obtained 1–2 days ago.
The taste of the products depends on the quality of the flour. Second-rate products turn out gray, unappetizing, and often have an unpleasant aftertaste.
Whatever whey dough recipe you choose, the flour must first be sifted. The purpose of this manipulation is not only to rid the product of small debris and insect larvae, but also to saturate it with oxygen. Sifted flour is lighter and looser than unsifted flour. It combines better with other components without forming lumps. The dough mixed with it rises better, the baked goods come out tender and airy.
The temperature of the ingredients also plays a big role. For yeast dough, the liquid base is heated to 30–40 degrees. This temperature is best for activating the yeast. A hotter liquid can kill living organisms causing fermentation; in a cold environment they will refuse to work. For other types of dough, products at room temperature or slightly warmer are most often used, so it is recommended to remove them from the refrigerator in advance.
Sweet yeast dough takes the longest to prepare, while unleavened dough takes the longest to prepare. If you plan to make dough with yeast, start kneading it at least 2.5–3 hours before the time of the intended meal. If you need to speed up the process, use instant yeast instead of regular yeast; with it, the dough will rise several times faster.

Even with successful dough it is not always possible to bake delicious and beautiful pies or pancakes. It is important not to violate the technology of frying pancakes, baking pies, and taking care of preparing a delicious filling. Then the result will surely please both you and your loved ones.

Kneading the dough

The first step is to warm up the whey a little, dissolve sugar and yeast in it. Leave the mixture for fifteen minutes, and during this time melt the butter in a separate bowl and set to cool slightly. Mix the liquid well so that not a single lump of yeast remains; a whisk is ideal for this. If small bubbles begin to form on the surface, the yeast has dissolved and it’s time to add the eggs and melted butter. Stir the mixture again using a whisk, but do not beat. Add the sifted flour slowly, constantly kneading the dough. It should end up being soft, elastic, and not sticky to your hands.

Now you need to place the dough (it is prepared with whey or with milk - it doesn’t matter, the technology is almost the same) in a deep, dry container, after having coated it with vegetable oil. This procedure is carried out so that it does not stick to the walls of the dish, then it will be much easier for you to remove it and then wash the container. Cover with a lid. If you don't have one that's the right size, a board or towel will do. Place the dough in a warm place and do not forget to check it. After the third rise, the whey dough will be ready for further work. In the oven, pies from such a product will turn out simply amazing. But they will turn out no less tasty in a frying pan, when fried in vegetable oil.
