Khrushchev Dough

Khrushchev Dough is a popular Soviet-era recipe for a simple and delicious bread dough. Named after the former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, this dough became a staple in many households during his time in power. It is known for its versatility and ease of preparation.

Ingredients

To make Khrushchev Dough, you will need the following ingredients:

• 500 grams of all-purpose flour
• 300 milliliters of warm water
• 10 grams of instant yeast
• 10 grams of salt
• 10 grams of sugar
• 30 milliliters of vegetable oil

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Stir until the yeast is dissolved and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. Gradually add the flour to the yeast mixture while stirring continuously. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

3. Add the vegetable oil to the dough and continue kneading for about 5-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

4. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles and transfer it to a floured surface.

6. Divide the dough into desired portions and shape them into loaves, rolls, or any other desired shape.

7. Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

8. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

9. Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

10. Remove the baked dough from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
