Do you like pies? If not, then you definitely do not know how to cook them. But you can make a pie quite quickly and without hassle, you just need to make a pie dough. And if you tinker a little and dream, you can get a real culinary masterpiece.
The batter is very similar in taste to yeast, but it is made much faster. We take 800 grams of flour, a teaspoon with a hill of salt, two or three sugar spoons, a pack of dried Mohair Saf Moment (or 50 grams of live), 0.5 liters of kefir, milk or fermented baked milk, two tablespoons of vegetable oil and a couple of eggs.
The dough is prepared as follows: take a wide dish and mix all the ingredients in it, except flour. You do not need to pour all the flour right away, take only 2/3 of the volume and begin to knead the dough with a spoon, gradually adding flour. Then we knead the dough with our hands and make sure that it is not too steep, otherwise it will not rise. Then sprinkle the dough with flour, cover the pan with a towel and set it to rise for an hour and a half. After that, sprinkling the dough with flour, so as not to stick, you can begin to form pies. The pies made from such a dough are airy, with a golden brown.
Yeast pie dough goes well with any filling, for example, meat. Do it really fast. All you need to cut onions, and then, together with minced meat, fry in a pan - and the filling is ready for use. And if there is a dough and there is a filling, then making a pie is a matter of technique. You can make a lot of small pies, or you can make one big one.
We take the pie dough, divide in half and roll it into a finger thick. You should get two flat cakes. In a baking dish we put baking paper or grease it with oil. We spread our flat cake on the greased form and spread our minced meat, salted and pepper, on it, and then close it with a second flat cake on top, gluing the edges well. In the top cake we make cuts with a knife and put in the oven for 30 minutes. Bake at a temperature no higher than one hundred and eighty degrees.
When you have time, you can make yeast puff pastry dough. Take half a kilogram of flour, a glass of milk, two chicken eggs, 30 grams of sugar, 15 grams of yeast, 20 grams of butter for dough and 200 grams for a layer. First, prepare the yeast dough. When it comes up, roll it out with an even rectangle and cover one half with an even layer of oil. Then we fold, pinch the edges and in the refrigerator. Twenty minutes later, the dough needs to be rolled out again and folded, but at four and taken out again in the cold. So repeat three times.
I also like an unusual recipe with beer. The pie dough is made like this: mix two hundred grams of butter with 150 milliliters of beer, salt, add flour, and then knead. The next filling is perfect for such a test. Rather, two. The first - finely chopped chicken fillet a little fry with onions, salt. The second - boiled eggs, green onions and cheese, grind, mix, salt. In this case, the dough should be divided into three cakes. Next: a layer of dough, the first filling, a layer of dough, a second filling. We carefully glue all layers of dough and make accurate punctures with a fork.
A more festive option is the Laurent cake. This is a classic French recipe. Here you need patty dough without yeast. For the test, take 50 grams of butter and mix with the egg. Do not drown the oil! Add two or three large tablespoons of boiled water, salt, add flour and you can knead cool dough. It will take about 200 grams of flour. Put the dough in a bag and put in the refrigerator - let it stand at least half an hour.
For the filling, we need onions, broccoli, chicken and mushrooms. Onions we take 100 grams, broccoli - 200, fillets - 300 and mushrooms - 400. We cook and cut the chicken fillet, fry the mushrooms with onions, then add the fillets and broccoli directly to the pan and, stirring, fry for about ten minutes, and then cool.
Now we are preparing the filling: beat 2 eggs, 200-300 milliliters of cream fatter and add to the eggs, and then add 100 grams of grated cheese to them, a little more. Add a teaspoon of nutmeg if desired. We grease the form with high sides or line it with baking paper and spread our pie dough. We form the sides. Spread the filling on top and fill it all with our fill. The baking scheme is the same - 30-35 minutes in the oven at a temperature of one hundred eighty degrees.
There are many cake recipes, but this is my favorite. I hope that you too will love him.
