Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
For the beer dough you will need: premium wheat flour, refined sunflower oil, salt, sugar and light beer. Filtered or not - it's up to you. This will not affect the taste of the dough in any way. The only thing for baking, I still recommend choosing a light beer.
Step 2:
Sift the flour through a sieve into a bowl. Add salt and sugar, unless you have a goal to make unleavened dough.
Step 3:
Add refined sunflower oil (odorless) to the bowl. The dough in vegetable oil always has a velvety structure, so I really like to work with it. By the way, feel free to replace sunflower oil with your favorite: olive, sesame, pumpkin, hemp ;) With olive oil and hemp oil, the dough will be slightly, slightly greenish, and this is absolutely normal.
Step 4:
Add the last ingredient: light beer. It can be both warm and from the refrigerator. For the test (unlike people) there is no difference. Mix the dough first with a tablespoon until it is convenient, and then knead with your hands.
Step 5:
This dough is perfectly kneaded by hands to a smooth, homogeneous state within a few minutes. But you can also call for help from electric kitchen assistants: they will cope with the batch in just two minutes. Assemble the dough into a ball, cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. After that, it will be ready for further work according to the plan you have conceived.
Once, it's not beer that destroys people, but water, so why not experiment and add this foamy drink to the dough?!
It is pleasant to work with beer dough, it is flexible and smooth, it does not stick to your hands at all, kneading it is a couple of trifles, plus it is convenient to roll it out with a rolling pin.
In the section it is clear that the dough is inside with bubbles, which will have a beneficial effect on the baking itself from it.
While the dough is resting, the most pleasant aroma of barley malt will spread through the kitchen.
I baked salty sesame cookies from beer dough. For a change - it is quite the place to be. The finished cookies turned out to have a very pleasant malt taste.
Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!
Good luck!
