Secrets how to make: The authentic lagana
OR dough
Be patient when making them because the dough needs its time to mature.
Its dough is properly inflated, when by dipping our finger, the dent has no return.
After the dough has risen the first time, pour it out onto the counter and knead lightly to deflate.
Lightly oil your hands so it doesn’t stick.
Do not flour the risen dough or your counter.
The dough must be soft and elastic to get the best result. Not tight, not hard.
When they are baked hot as they are in the oven, spray them with a spray bottle and a little water.
This will make the crust very crispy. Pack up because they get snatched up.
Dough rising
Pay attention to the puffiness of the dough. Best left on the counter at room temperature until doubled in size.
If you are in a hurry and only then, put the dough in a warm oven (turned off oven with a temperature of up to 45 degrees C no more).
Or alternatively, help it rise by placing it near a radiator or a warm bain-marie.
It does not need a rolling pin to take shape.
How will it be? crispy
If we want an extra crispy texture, we must necessarily spray them with a little water at the end of baking.
Also, it is necessary to pierce the entire surface of the dough with a skewer all the way down.
Only in this way will it become crispy on the outside, with a divine crust.
Soft crust
If you like it soft with a softer crust, skip the sprinkling step at the end of baking as well as piercing it through from top to bottom.
The dents with the hands are enough to make it puffier and softer.
If you want puffy, roll them to a thickness of 2 cm, while if you want thinner and crispier, roll them to a thickness of 1 cm.
The baking
If you have patience for baking, they are best baked on the resistances, one at a time, on the bottom rack of the oven, for even baking and better browning.
But if you are in a hurry, bake them in the air at the same time, rotating the pans, changing position up and down on the pans for more correct baking.
Instead of plain water, I can brush them with a little sugar water, it will give color and a sweeter taste.
