Dough with the terrible name "Drowned man" has old and very interesting story. It is more likely even not the recipe, but technology of preparation. It is known that dough for rise is made either in heat, or on cold. In those days, when people had no fridges yet, it was logical to ship a lump of the mixed test in cold water. After a while dough was saturated with carbon dioxide and emerged on a surface – it was a signal that dough "approached". Thus dough was "heated", and then waited when it emerges – from here and the name. Drowned man yeast dough – universal: it perfectly "approaches", it suits for baking of pies and pies, cheesecakes, belyashes, pizza, etc., both fried in a frying pan, and baked in an oven, with any stuffings.
Option with a yeast powder
In half-liter of warm milk to pour a bag of a yeast powder (11 grams) and two tablespoons of granulated sugar, to mix, leave for about 15 minutes before emergence of foam. Add 2 eggs, 150 grams of the softened desi and everything it is good to stir.
In a deep bowl to sift 1 kg of flour, having left one glass for adding, to mix flour with one full teaspoon of salt (with the hill). Pour gradually in milk with yeast and eggs, kneading dough. It is necessary to knead it at first a spoon, and then hands until begins to come unstuck from walls of a bowl and from hands. Dough has to have an elastic, but not really firm texture. It is necessary to create a sphere from the test.
To pour very cold water into a bucket, a basin or a big pan and to ship in it a sphere from the test – it has to drown. Approximately in 15-20 minutes, dough will emerge on a water surface – is ready! Get, dry a sphere a paper towel, to powder slightly with flour and allow to be stood 10 more minutes. Further it is possible to begin to form pies, pies, etc. At pastries dough considerably increases in volume therefore, displaying piece products on a baking tray, it is desirable to observe an interval.
Option with a fresh yeast
Warm up a glass of milk and part in it 50 grams of a fresh yeast before disappearance of lumps, filter. "Stir up" 3 eggs in a cup. Kindle a pack of 200 grams of a butter or margarine in a saucepan. Mix 4 glasses of a sifted flour, a salt teaspoon in a big bowl, to add all liquid ingredients – milk with yeast, eggs, the kindled oil and to knead dough. It is possible to add flour as required – dough has to lag behind hands and ware in which it is mixed.
Roll a sphere from the test and inwrap it in linen (it is possible gauze) to tie a napkin, the ends. Other way is to shift dough in a big plastic bag, its volume has to be is much bigger, than the test volume as it at "rise" will very strongly increase in volume; a package stick and make about a knot several punctures that the package didn't burst. Further to do the procedure with "drowning" and emersion of the test in cold water. At this option of preparation of time for "raising" of the test it will be required a little more – about 30 minutes. Dough is ready, it is possible to start pastries!
