Steps in Making a Pastry

Pastry is an elastic dough of oil, water and flour that can be either sweetened or savoury. Sweetened pastries can be defined as the homemade confectionery created by many individuals. The word "pastry" implies several types of baked goods made from different ingredients like flour, butter, milk, sugar, baking powder and eggs. There are various types of pastries like bread, croissants, scones, pitas and biscotti. It can also be prepared in different ways like using eggs, sugar or both for different taste or flavour.

A pastry recipe is usually made with the assistance of eggs or butter. But sometimes, just a simple plain flour is used. If you have made a recipe with butter and no eggs, then you must add an egg mixture. This will give a lighter texture to the pastry. You can also try using the almond paste for making a light and fresh pastry.

Pastry can also be sweetened with honey, molasses, maple syrup, agave nectar and/or candied peel. You can also add some lemon or orange zest in the dough prior to the baking process. The preparation for baking a sweetened pastry can vary from one type of the pastry to another.

The first step in making a pastry involves preparing the dough. A traditional dough is made by mixing the flour, yeast, water, sugar and salt. In addition, egg yolks or cream of tartar are also added for the thickening purpose. You can also add some fruit juice or chocolate chips in the dough for extra sweetening. You must not forget to work in all the flour during the preparation phase.

After the preparation of the dough, it is now time to start the working process. The next step is to heat up a non-stick frying pan. Add some oil for the cooking purpose. Add some light butter for coating the pastries. Place the dough on the hot plate and allow it to be flattened slightly before you add the desired amount of pastry.

You can make a pasty in different shapes. Some examples of the most popular pastries include angel food cake, flan, Belgian oatmeal and biscotti. Make sure that you use a heavy duty frying pan for the making of these pastries. When the bottom of the pastry is already puffed, add a spatula to continue the cooking process. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool down for a couple of minutes. You can now cut it into the desired sizes as well as shape.
