Many gourmets adore yeast pies. Such pastries are distinguished by their fluffiness and softness.

However, this is far from the limit. Using one vegetable ingredient will make the dish much more airy and tender.

And these properties will be preserved in the pies even after a couple of days.

The baked goods will remain soft and incredibly appetizing for a long time thanks to the potatoes.

How to use vegetables correctly

You need to add already heat-treated nightshade to the yeast base for pies.

In other words, the potatoes must be boiled first.

The resulting ingredient must either be chopped using a grater or turned into a homogeneous mass using a potato masher.

The additive should be included in the base of the future dish immediately after sugar and yeast.

The amount of potatoes used should depend on the volume of flour. If the flour ingredient "occupies" three glasses, then you will need two medium potatoes.

This vegetable component guarantees the preparation of such tender and airy baked goods that your guests will be delighted.

It is worth emphasizing that the “potato” life hack works when preparing not only pies, but also many other flour dishes.
