Dough for dumplings with milk

The dough can be kneaded with your hands or with the help of technology - and so, and so it turns out to be almost perfect, but in the second case it saves time and effort. If there is no bread maker, just knead the dough with your hands until elastic. Well, here we go...

Sift wheat flour into the bowl of a bread maker. This will help get rid of debris and saturate it with oxygen, which will subsequently give the dough an elastic structure. In the center of the resulting flour slide, we make a small depression and pour cold milk into it. The mixture is salted to taste and add baking soda, which must be extinguished with table vinegar. The added baking powder fluffs the dough and the dumplings turn out large, airy, juicy.

Close the lid of the bread maker tightly and set the desired program, most often the "Pasta Dough" cycle is suitable for an ideal dumpling dough. In just 14 minutes, an elastic, plastic dough will be ready, which does not stick to the hands and to the walls of the dishes and is perfectly molded. To control the kneading process, you can stop the machine in the middle of the cycle and open the lid slightly, look inside. If the flour remains unused at the corners of the bowl, you can independently direct it to the center of the container and start the bread maker again.

When the process is completely completed, we take out the finished dough and spread it on a flour-dusted table or cutting board. Lightly crumple it by hand, roll it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the mass matures, thickens and stabilizes. In this state, it is more convenient to work with him.

We take out the dough for dumplings with milk from the refrigerator, cut it up and stuff it. The filling can be any at will: fresh fruits (cherries, strawberries, currants), cottage cheese with raisins (or without), boiled potatoes (with mushrooms, fried onions, herbs). By the way, milk dough can be used not only for dumplings, but also for dumplings.

We make dumplings and enjoy the process and the result!
