Dough Kneading Instructions
The yeast baking base loves attention and accuracy when it is cooked. Follow the recipe for a rich yeast dough for pies - and everything will work out. The temperature in the room should be between 23-37 degrees. All ingredients must be removed from the refrigerator two hours before the start of the test, so that they take the ambient temperature. Now let's get started.
Sifting flour is one of the main points. In it, the oxygen level rises, and the small inclusions remaining during the grinding process are separated.
Lightly heat the milk. You can not do too hot, 35-38 degrees is enough. In milk we put a cut cube of raw yeast and a teaspoon of sugar taken from its total amount. Leave the products in a warm place until the yeast has dissolved, which will dissolve and cover the milk with a layer of foam.
Melt the butter. Pour it into milk with prepared yeast. We will also send salt, the remaining sugar, egg and vanillin here. Mix the ingredients.
Pour the flour into liquid products and combine all the components into a single mass. Cover the dishes with a lid or a clean kitchen towel. Leave to raise. It is better to place the dishes in a warm, but not hot place. Our dough recipe for pastry with various tasty fillings is ready.
Filling pies and pies
From the resulting base, you can bake a large number of products with a sweet filling. The practice of creating small portioned cakes is widely used. Everywhere has its own nuances. The same filling in different ways is able to play in large baked goods and in small ones. We will tell you how to bake portioned cakes. And you yourself decide which option you like.
Sugar
This sweet pastry cake recipe is simple. It is popular with housewives. After a hard day baking such pastries is not difficult, especially if you prepare the dough in advance.
By the way, the dough for the recipe for yeast pastry can be made and frozen. As soon as you want to bake something, it is enough to remove the semi-finished product, let it melt, knead. And you can start baking.
But back to the sugar cake. Check the availability of ingredients for its preparation:
- butter - 50 grams;
- 110-125 grams of sugar;
- cream - 1 incomplete glass (approximately 200 milliliters).
Cooking method
We knead the base according to the above instructions. Since we will bake our pastry (according to the recipe) in the oven, we will need a suitable baking dish. We process it by spreading it inside with vegetable oil.
We cover it with baking paper. We spread the finished dough, pre-kneading it and kneading on the table. Flatten the base for the cake right in the mold. For thirty minutes, place the mold in a warm place.
Let's take sweet crumbs of butter and sugar. We grate the cold but plastic butter and the whole norm of sugar. The mixture is kept in the refrigerator.
The dough in the form rose slightly. Pour vegetable oil into the bowl. Dipping a finger in it, we press on the surface of the future pie to make indentations.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Pour the cake on top with sweet crumbs from the refrigerator. Thirty-five minutes bake it in the oven. Five minutes before the end of the process, fill in the form with an almost ready cake the entire norm of the cream specified in the recipe.
Cool slightly and serve with tea or coffee.
Apple pies
For the recipe for rich pies and pies with apples, the recipe mentioned above is excellent. If you want to bake more pies, multiply all the ingredients by two and knead a lot of dough. Products for filling:
- apples - 800-900 grams;
- lean, unflavored oil - 1-2 tablespoons;
- sugar - 50-150 grams or more; the exact mass depends on the variety of apples and personal taste preferences of tasters;
- egg - grease semi-finished products.
- vanilla sugar to taste.
Technological process
We clean fruits from inedible elements. The peel and seed boxes are not the most delicious in apples. Then cut the apples into cubes a little smaller than average.
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the apples at a low temperature. After a two-minute heat treatment, add sugar in the required quantity. Hold for another minute and turn off the stove. Be sure to completely cool the apple filling before proceeding to the formation of pies.
The process of forming products and their baking
From the dough we make small cakes. It is worth remembering its ability to grow well in size. In the center of each cake obtained lay out the filling (1 dessert spoon). Pinch the edges of the pie. Form can be given as desired. Make standard, classic pies or round.
We spread the semi-finished products on a baking sheet treated with vegetable oil. We try to leave a seam below. At the same time, we keep a distance between the products - at least one centimeter. We put a baking sheet for proofing pies for 10-20 minutes. At this time, we heat the oven to 200 degrees.
Now the surface of each butter cake with apples is coated with a beaten egg. Place the pan in a hot oven. After 20-25 minutes, you can remove the golden and sweet cakes from the oven.
Open sweet cake (recipe with jam)
It is good not only with hot tea, but also with cold milk. A universal treat for any season. For the filling, it is advisable to take thick jam, fruit or berry - it does not matter. If your jam is not viscous enough, add agar-agar (10 g) or one and a half tablespoons of ordinary potato starch. The calculation of thickeners is given for a glass of filling.
And now more on how to create a great homemade pie
Before proceeding to the recipe, prepare the pastry (the instructions are given above in the article). Lubricate the baking dish with any oil. Having rolled out the dough into a layer up to 1 centimeter thick, we line the whole form with it. Edges slightly overhang the sides. In the improvised bowl, we send the entire jam rate. We distribute the sweet filler evenly throughout the volume. Align the beads.
We set the cake to rise slightly. At this time, preheat the oven. As soon as the temperature reaches 200 degrees, we will place a mold with a workpiece in the bowels of the oven. The total baking time is 45-50 minutes. 25-30 minutes before the product is completely ready, you can carry out one interesting manipulation of the cake. The fact is that the sides, most likely, will greatly increase in size. Therefore, you need to lightly knead them with a fork. Let's do it with pressing movements.
If you don’t really like the option of a fully open pie, cover it with a light mesh of dough bundles.
Serving this butter baking is made only in fully cooled form. Hot dessert does not hold the filling, and it flows out. But the cooled pastry cake with jam has a bright taste.
With curd filling
The recipe that tells how to make yeast pastry is presented above in the article. Use it as intended.
So, the dough is ready. But you need to work on a satisfying and tender curd filling. Component List:
- chicken eggs -2 pieces;
- cottage cheese - 250 grams;
- sugar - 3-7 tablespoons;
- potato starch - 1 teaspoon;
- vanilla sugar - 1 sachet;
- 1-3 tablespoons of sour cream;
- any fresh or from berries (compote) berries can be added portionwise;
- salt is a small pinch.
Filling Technology
Mash the curd until smooth with sugar. Add the egg yolk and also carefully mix it into the composition. Pour vanilla sugar into the filling. We spread the sour cream product. It is better to take a more fatty version of sour cream. Mix the curd filler again. We determine the degree of its moisture. If the filling seems too liquid, add a spoonful of starch and mix quickly, evenly distributing the thickener in the curd mass. We complete the preparation of the filling by whipping with the mixer the remaining egg white. When the protein becomes sufficiently stable and lush, very carefully intervene in the curd filling. It is preferable to use a spatula for this purpose.
We make a pie
Roll out the finished yeast pastry on a flat, dusted plane.
The form or baking sheet on which the product will be baked must first be coated with refined vegetable oil.
We transfer the layer of rolled dough into this form. We leave the sides above the level of the sides of the form.
We spread the sweet cottage cheese filling. Evenly distributed over the entire diameter of the form. Lightly press and smooth the curd layer.
If you decide to add frozen or fresh berries, they must be prepared. Just roll the berries in the flour. Shake off the excess and lay the berries over the entire surface of the sweet curd mass.
Wrap the edges, pinch them with folds. The sides of the dough and the open middle are obtained. The assembled pie is very similar to a giant cheesecake.
And now we heat the oven to 180-200 degrees. Coat the billet with a beaten egg and 10-15 minutes after turning on the oven we put it on a baking sheet.
Bake the product for 30-40 minutes. The finished cake is covered with a golden crust.
We take out the baking sheet from the oven and cool the cake.
