Deja (tub, dough) for proofing the dough

[Deja (tub, sauerkraut)]

Deja (tub, sauerkraut)

Deja (kvashnya, Ukr. dizha, Belarusian dzezha, Polish dzieża) - bread dough, as well as a wooden tub (sometimes a hollow) for its preparation. In the traditional culture of the Eastern and Western Slavs, it is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Among the southern Slavs, wooden dug-outs were used to ferment the dough. The word "deja" comes from the Church Slavonic children, devati, put, put, put.

Deja was treated with care and even respect. In Ukraine and Belarus, a bowl with dough was placed on a table or on a bench under the icons in the red corner. In Volyn Polissya, a bowl covered with a tablecloth with bread on it was constantly in the red corner. It was believed that even if the bowl is completely dilapidated, it cannot be used for anything other than storing bread. It was allowed to sit down or get up on the watch only in special situations (at a wedding, with tonsure) and only on condition of ritual purity. The bowl was usually not washed, but scraped; if they washed, then part of the bowl was left untouched so that the remnants of fermented dough were always preserved in it. In Podlasie, a lump of raw dough (zakwas) was left in the bowl in winter and covered with a straw wreath or turned over. In the Slutsk district, they said that without the remains of the dough at the bottom of the bowl, they would get hungry and “leap in temper” (see Sourdough). Among Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians, the cook was greeted with the words: "Ergot in the dough!" In Russian spiritual verses about the Last Judgment, the sinful soul is accused of mortal sins, among other things, in the fact that it took the argument out of the dough.

[WARM !!!!! WOOD! Warm wood!]

I put the finished dough directly in the 6 liter bowl of the food processor, or in a large glass bowl of 5-6 liters. But both glass and metal are always cold for the test.

But, here I went into a small shop, and there ... there is a large salad bowl (with all the forks, spoons for mixing), made of wood



I took it in my hands, touched it, turned it over - well, it didn’t affect me like a salad bowl. I turned it over and went on, despite the fact that the price for a salad bowl is only 500 rubles, the department of goods at reduced prices

And at home it dawned on me that I could use such a salad bowl as a bowl for proving dough! Well, of course, in the morning I was near the store. She turned the salad bowl over in her hands again. She was in the hands WARM !!!!! WOOD! Warm wood! This is what you need for proving the dough - warm!

Then I did not hesitate any more, picked up a salad bowl (packed in a beautiful box) and ran home. To begin with, I washed it with dish soap, dried it and dried it, put it in plain sight - and admire it, take it in my hands and check again the warmth of the tree. And the lid was found on the bowl, the usual one from a frying pan. And you can cover it with a film - that's how the circumstances tell.



She began to strain the dough in her new kvashny. I sprinkle a drop of vegetable oil on the walls and bottom (so that the dough does not stick too much), then I put the dough - and for proofing. As it should be, I do not wash the bowl with water, I only wipe it with oil.



WELL!

beauty and petty !! Tatyana is such an entertainer

Today I saw such a salad bowl in Selgros. She seemed a bit big. What is the diameter of the lid from the pan with which you cover the bowl?

Tanya, smart girl !!! How cool I came up with! Now I will dream of such a vessel. After all, now I cannot live without a bowl. And how many liters is this salad bowl? Maybe on an Internet somewhere you can find one ...

THANK YOU!

I don't know where to look in the internet, I saw it myself purely by chance

The bowl is quite small, it seems. For a dough for 500 grams of flour, it's very normal, you need to take into account that proofing bowl, and it will rise 2-2.5 times, and it needs air. And so, I did not measure the volume, but it will be 5-6 liters - just a bowl from a Kenwood combine for 5 liters - this is normal!
