Instruction manual
1
First of all, starting the process of making homemade lean meat, prepare the filling. Knead dough from flour and water, knead well, put in a bowl and fill with cold water. In this state, leave the dough for half an hour.
2
Meanwhile, pour water into the pan, put salt, bay leaf, allspice, peppercorns, bring to a boil. It should be a fragrant salty broth.
3
After 30 minutes, place a bowl under running cold water and painstakingly knead and stretch the dough. In this case, the water will be very white. This is due to the fact that starch is washed out of the dough. Continue to rinse the dough until the water is completely clear. At this time, you will have a yellowish lump in your hands. Put this lump in a pot with previously cooked boiling broth. Cook over medium heat for about half an hour. During this time, the lump will increase in volume three times and become loose. Take it out and cool. It turned out wheat meat or seitan.
4
The dough for whites will be freshly brewed. To prepare it, mix the flour and salt, in a separate large-capacity bowl, heat a mixture of water and vegetable oil to a boil. Pour flour and salt into the boiling mixture and quickly stir with a spoon. Remove from heat and cool slightly so that the dough can be picked up, but it would still be hot enough. Knead the dough until smooth and uniform. Lean choux pastry is soft, but not sticky, quite elastic.
5
Prepare a filling for lean whites. To do this, finely chop the seitan, mix with peeled raw potatoes and onions grated on a fine grater. Salt to taste, put black pepper and cumin to add an oriental flavor. Shuffle.
6
Divide the dough into 35 parts. Roll the cakes, put the filling in the middle and close the edges so that a round hole remains in the center of the pie.
7
Now the whites can be laid out with the hole down on the pan, warming the oil, and fry on both sides until golden brown. Or you can make pies in the oven: preheat the oven to 200 degrees, put the whites on a greased baking sheet with the hole up and bake for 20 minutes.
