Each national cuisine has a number of dishes that define its “face”, characteristic features and features. When it comes to baking, dough products, I immediately recall the Crimean Tatar pasties, Russian pancakes and pies, Ukrainian crunches, Moldovan rotations. All these goodies can be prepared by yourself - there would be recipes and desire!
About the subject of conversation
The topic of our article today is vertuta with apples. What she represents, they will gladly explain and even show you Moldovan mistresses, especially residents of the countryside. After all, it was precisely in the villages that the art of preparing national dishes in its original state was preserved. The same mamalyga, without which no meal was once complete, is cooked little in cities. Yes, and baking, too, do not bother too much, especially with a storey abundance. And only in the village you can be offered a real vertuta with apples or pumpkin, feta cheese or potatoes, taken out of the oven, cooked in accordance with all the rules, in compliance with the necessary "technical" subtleties.
Moldovan twirls are prepared from a special dough, which is rolled, or rather, stretched very thin, thin, like tissue paper. The filling is placed inside the formation, then it is rolled up - hence the name of baking “vertuta”. With apples, nuts, jam, i.e. sweet minced meat, they are served as dessert, often sprinkled with powdered sugar. And with a more satisfying filling, they go as an independent dish or to soups, zamas, borsch - instead of bread. As a rule, a lot of eggs are put in the dough and vegetable oil is added. Therefore, the vertuta with apples and other minced meat is not so much baked as it is fried, which makes it especially tasty.
Vertices on kefir
The recipe for this baking is very inexpensive, available to almost every family, and the result will delight all lovers of dough products. You will need half a liter of kefir, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar and so much flour to knead an elastic, not very cool dough. Roll it into a ball, cover with a napkin and let it rest for half an hour, distance. In the meantime, do the stuffing.
To make your vertuta with apples tastier, the recipe (photo attached) suggests adding to the apples, which should be cut into small cubes, a little cinnamon, and for the mouth-watering smell - vanilla. When the dough has come, cut small slices from it, roll it into flat cakes and, adding flour, roll it with a rolling pin, and then stretch it evenly with your hands into rounded thin layers. Each such sheet, from which vertuta with apples is baked, the recipe must be prescribed to sprinkle with sunflower oil. Then evenly distribute the filling, sprinkling it with sugar, roll up the layers, snap the edges at both ends. Lubricate again from above. Oil the baking sheet well, spread the spindles on it, put in a preheated oven and bake until cooked at a temperature of 190-200 degrees for about 20 minutes. When the baking has cooled, sprinkle the powdered sugar.
