What are the features of yeast dough?

Yeast dough is considered to be very capricious and fastidious, so in order for the cabbage pie to turn out lush and tasty, it is necessary to take certain rules into account when preparing it:

• You need to choose only proven yeasts, since the taste and fluffiness of the kneaded dough depends on their quality. You can use both pressed and dry yeast.
• If the recipe contains proportions of pressed yeast, you can replace them with dry, only the quantity must necessarily be three times less (for example, instead of 45 g of pressed you should use 15 g of dry yeast).
• Pre-yeast is best mixed with whey, milk or water. After the foam has formed, the yeast is ready for use.
• For kneading dough dough flour must be sifted.
• In the yeast dough you need to add only a clearly specified number of eggs. If you put more eggs in the dough, then the baking may turn out to be dry and knocked down. At 500 g of flour you need to lay no more than 2 eggs.
• The dough for the pie with cabbage must go. In no case should you leave it in a draft or at a low temperature. Yeast dough loves heat.
• Fill the form with yeast dough should be no more than 2/3 of the part, because in the baking process it will do. When filling the form, the dough may leak out.
• Yeast dough must be kneaded by hand to make it soft, elastic and lush.
• When baking a pie with cabbage made from yeast dough, it is not recommended to open the oven before the baking time is completed, otherwise the dough may not be suitable and the baking will be knocked out. Some cooks advise to open the oven only after at least half of the time allowed for baking.
• Yeast dough must be salted regardless of the type of filling used.
