Start by making the dough. Prepare all the necessary products. Take the top grade flour. Separate about 50 grams of flour from the total, you will need it when you roll out the dough. Kefir, the fatter you take, the tastier the layers will be. The oil should be cold, get out of the refrigerator before starting cooking.
Take a wide shape in which it will be convenient to grate the oil and mix the dough. Sift the flour into the tin. Add the salt and baking powder, toss with the flour to spread evenly across the dough. The flour must be sifted to saturate the dough with oxygen and it has become more airy. Grate the oil there with a coarse grater. To make the oil easier to rub and it sticks less to the grater, dip it in flour.
You don't need to mix the dough for a long time. Pack it in a lump. The grater and dish you used for the dough will be needed later to make the crumbs. The dough should not be too soft, fluid. If there is not enough flour, add a little. Since the flour of even one variety, but different producers, differs in properties, the amount of flour indicated in the recipe may not be enough, or vice versa, there may be a lot.
Engage in the preparation of crumbs. Prepare all the necessary products according to the list. Take the top grade flour. If you plan to use vanillin instead of vanilla sugar, reduce the amount required by prescription by 10 times. Putting too much vanillin can ruin the taste of the finished product. The oil should be cold.
Sprinkle the work surface with flour and finely roll the first piece of dough into a rectangular-shaped layer. The edges don't have to be perfectly even. To make it convenient to work with the dough, sprinkle flour on the rolling pin and hands. While you are rolling out the dough, return the rest of it to the refrigerator so that the oil does not melt and the technology of making puffs is not disrupted.
For baking, take the largest baking tray that fits in your oven. Sprinkle a little with flour or line with parchment. Transfer the first cake to the baking tray. It is convenient to transfer thinly rolled dough using a rolling pin. Loosely wrap the dough on a rolling pin, transfer and unfold in the right place.
Using a sharp knife, cut the resulting & quot; cake & quot; into pieces and spread them so that the edges do not touch or stick together during the baking process. Choose the size you want, I cut into 24 pieces, each about 4x3cm. If you want to make the layers larger, make a smaller number of portions. Bake on the middle shelf in the oven at 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Depending on the characteristics of your oven, time may change.
