The dough for dumplings on mineral water is suitable for other products. What is its advantage? The fact that the base is flexible, easy to process, does not fall apart during cooking. Discard the old grandfather ways, try the new product.

The classic recipe for the test on mineral water

From kitchen utensils we need only a bowl, a spoon, a whisk and a sieve.

The ingredients are pretty simple:

  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • mineral water - 1 tbsp .;
  • sugar and salt - ½ tsp;
  • premium flour - approximately 600 g.

And now the process of making dumplings:

  1. Pour salt with sugar into the egg in a deep plate.
  2. Beat with a fork or whisk.
  3. Pour sparkling water.
  4. Gradually sift the flour into the total mass.
    This is necessary not only to get rid of impurities and lumps. This action saturates the granular component with oxygen, which also gives airiness to the dough.
  5. First, use a spoon for stirring. When the consistency becomes denser, put the dough on the table and continue to knead with your hands until the mass stops sticking to them.
  6. We put the workpiece in a fabric bag and leave to rest at room temperature.

At this time, the complete combination of the ingredients. In the meantime, there is an opportunity to do stuffing.

With the addition of vegetable oil

Many start the dough based on familiar products, but try introducing a new ingredient.

We will first understand why this is necessary:

  • Lean oil increases the elasticity of the dough.
  • The base of the dumplings sticks to hands less when working.
  • The dough does not weather for a long time.
  • Oil helps to quickly crush all lumps.

Structure:

  • mineral water - 250 ml;
  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • salt and sugar - to taste (usually put ½ tsp.);
  • vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. l .;
  • flour - 3 cups.

Algorithm of actions:

  1. As in the first embodiment, beat the salt, sugar and egg.
  2. Pour soda with oil.
  3. Stir with a spatula, gradually pouring flour.
  4. When the composition ceases to remain on the palms, we wrap it and set it aside so that it lies down.

When choosing oil, give preference to an odorless product.

You can rest assured, having tried once, you will always start the dough on mineral water and vegetable oil. After all, it is tender, elastic and very supple.

Without salt and sugar

It is known that salt is added to the composition of the base, not only based on taste preferences. It improves color, creates airy "pockets" in the dough and strengthens the proteins in it. But what if, due to circumstances, you cannot use these two products? Mineral sparkling water will come to the rescue.

The composition of the elastic dough for dumplings:

  • flour - 0.5 kg;
  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l .;
  • mineral water - 300 ml.

 

Step-by-step instruction:

  1. In a cup, mix sparkling water with an egg with a fork or whisk.
  2. Pouring flour, we start a tight dough, which must necessarily lag behind the palms.
  3. Having wrapped the workpiece in cling film, leave it for about 30 minutes aside.

It is worth remembering that dumplings from this test are cooked a little faster than usual.

Cooking with Tomato Paste

Now let's surprise everyone with the peculiar color and taste of our products.

Structure:

  • sifted flour - 500 g;
  • mineral water - 1 tbsp .;
  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • tomato paste - 2 tbsp. l .;
  • salt - 0.5 tsp;
  • sugar - 1 tsp.

In general, the method of manufacturing this test for dumplings and dumplings practically does not differ from those already described:

  1. Beating the egg with spices a little, add ketchup and mineral water.
  2. Pour the pre-sifted flour in portions and combine the ingredients with a spatula or spoon.
  3. Next, continue to knead the composition on the table with your hands.

The amount of flour may differ once from a time. It depends on the gluten in its composition.

After some time, we begin to sculpt dumplings.

Sour cream option

A wonderful recipe for mineral water dough, which is ideal for fillings such as mashed potatoes, sweet or salty curd, mushrooms and liver.

Product List:

  • flour - 3.5 full glasses;
  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • table salt - 1 tsp;
  • fat sour cream - 1/2 cup;
  • soda - ½ cup.

We act:

  1. Using a sieve, sift the flour.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients.
  3. We begin to pour them in small portions into a large cup with sour cream, mineral water and a beaten egg.
  4. In a circular motion we connect the products.
  5. When we spend half the flour, put the rest on the work surface.
  6. The dough is still liquid on top, so we bring it with both hands to the ideal state when it completely stops sticking to the palms.
  7. Put the workpiece in a plastic bag so that it does not wind off.
  8. Leave on the table to lie down, but for now there is time to prepare the filling.

Do not forget about kitchen appliances, such as a food processor and a bread machine. They can easily help make the basis for dumplings and dumplings. Just remember that you cannot knead such dough for too long - it can “drag out”, after which it will be difficult to give in to rolling.
