If you never had to do this, be sure to try it! You see, the household will be surprised and grateful for the homemade delicacy.

The benefits of cakes on the water

A refined flour product is certainly not healthy. White flour is devoid of the most valuable ingredients, and therefore it is an almost pure mixture of carbohydrates. But homemade cakes cannot be called harmful. They lack chemical improvers that are used in almost any bread production.

To understand what other advantages lie in this product, you can compare it with other flour products. Tortillas in a pan on the water, cooked without oil, contain only 231 kcal. While any fancy bun contains at least 339 kcal.

The dough for flat cakes in a pan on the water rolls into a thin layer, so they are not particularly lush or soft. So, to maintain the structure, it’s not necessary to add products such as milk or eggs, which for some people can be allergens.

Of course, tortillas are more useful than butter loaves, as they contain less calories and sugar. And this product can be made truly valuable if you replace traditional white flour with whole grain.

In addition to wheat, you can use rye, corn, flaxseed or even buckwheat. Experiment with tastes, and you will surely find a recipe to your liking.

Making dough for water cakes with dry yeast

Yeast cakes on water can be used as bread or serve as an independent snack. According to similar recipes, pita bread is made, which is served with hot dishes, as well as pita - white bread used with all kinds of fillings.

 

For this recipe, water should be preheated to a temperature of 35-40 ° C, and then in a glass of warm liquid, dissolve a teaspoon of dry yeast.

Mix three cups of flour with a pinch of salt and a spoonful of sugar. Add dissolved yeast and a tablespoon of refined vegetable oil.

It is necessary to knead the dough properly, it should turn out quite steep, and leave for one hour, covered with a towel. Over time, it must be divided into equal pieces, they will turn out about eight, cover again with a towel and let stand for 10-15 minutes.

Roll up balls from pieces. Using a rolling pin, we turn each into an even layer with a thickness of not more than 2 mm. Fry the cakes on both sides in a hot frying pan without oil.

During cooking, you should be very careful. Scones toast literally in 10-15 seconds. Do not overdry them. The finished product is stacked and covered with a kitchen towel.

If you want to do something like a pita, then do not roll the cakes too much. Their thickness should be about 1 cm. When frying, the bread will swell, and it will be possible to cut a pocket in it, which later is conveniently stuffed with stewed vegetables or fried minced meat.

Pour 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and a couple of tablespoons of vodka. With it, our meat will turn out more juicy.

Roll blanks into very thin layers. The diameter of each cake should be approximately 25 cm. Three quarters of the circle is covered with meat filling, leaving the sector untouched.

Make an incision from the center of the circle to the edge. We take the free end of the tortillas and cover them with the minced meat. We make two more turns. Thus, you should get a puff triangle with meat and dough inside.
