Recently, our Nastya completely refuses sweets (and thank God), but salty is held in high esteem by us. I ordered salty straws in Poland ... But the price is too high for her) This is my third attempt to make straws, all the previous ones were just terrible. I could not adapt any of the recipes from the Internet to our flour - the dough crumbled and it was impossible to roll it! This recipe was invented taking into account the characteristics of our flour and turned out to be an absolute victory - the sticks are crunchy, the dough is elastic, the fa is generally minuscule and the price is many times cheaper!
For the straw you will need:
120 grams flour (3.96 fa, 0.34 protein)
5 grams vegetable oil
0.5 restored egg
25 grams butter(7.75 fa, 0.125 protein)
70 ml boiling water
1 teaspoon baking powder
salt to taste
Yield 130 grams. In 100 grams 9 fa, 0.36 protein.
Cooking:
Pour 60 grams of flour into a bowl, pour vegetable oil and pour into boiling water. Mix thoroughly with a spoon, trying as much as possible to break up the lumps.
Add cold butter cut into small cubes, a restored egg (beat with a mixer 5 grams of powder + 20 ml of water), add salt to taste and mix everything well again
Pour the remaining 60 grams of flour and baking powder. Knead soft and elastic dough. You can get started with the test right away.
I have such a special tool - an extruder. You can use the nozzle on a meat grinder, various kitchen accessories, you can buy a 20 cc syringe and squeeze it out, or you can just roll it out with your hands)))
After everything is laid on a baking sheet, it is necessary to grease our straws with water and sprinkle with salt, you can also sprinkle with paprika or other spices.
Bake at 180 degrees. I checked for readiness, as always - I took it out and tried it)
Actually, that's all! Fast and very tasty) Now I’m sitting and waiting for Nastenysh and dad to return from the street, I really want to please her) Happy crunching everyone!
