It is known that Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU and chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR until 1964, respected the pastry very much. Especially pies and pies from excellent yeast dough. The personal cook of Nikita Sergeevich, Anna Grigoryevna Dyshkant, brought from abroad a recipe for an excellent dough, which was originally correctly called "French". Such a "foreign" name was not accidental. The fact is that the dough had the characteristic features peculiar to the French dough. It made rich and fragrant products. Often it was Khrushchev’s dough for pies that was used. At the same time, it practically did not require kneading and did not need prolonged fermentation, proofing and even lubrication with a beaten egg before baking. That is why, according to this simple and very tasty recipe, almost all the yeast pastries were prepared for the table of the first secretary of the party. And later the dough got its second name - "Khrushchev".
