To bake dumplings in the oven, you should not only mold the mentioned semi-finished products, but also prepare for them a fragrant dressing. It is worth noting that such a dish is much tastier and juicier than what is cooked on a gas stove. And so that you are convinced of this, we present to your attention a step-by-step method of its preparation.
A detailed recipe for baked dumplings in the oven
Essential ingredients for convenience foods:
- fresh lean veal - 1 kg;
- large onions - 2 pcs.;
- red pepper and iodized salt - add to the minced meat to taste;
- small chicken egg - 3 pcs.;
- sifted wheat flour - to the density of the base;
- drinking water - 1/3 cup.
Kneading process
Before baking dumplings in the oven, you should knead a thick base. To do this, beat the eggs very strongly, pour in drinking water to them and add wheat flour. As a result of long and intensive kneading, you should form a very cool dough. While preparing the filling for dumplings, it is recommended to wrap it in cling film and leave it aside.
Stuffing Process
Baked dumplings in the oven, photos of which can be seen in this article, can be made from pork, beef, lamb or other fillings. We decided to use fresh lean veal. It must be washed and chopped in a meat grinder, adding a couple of large heads of onions. After this, the minced meat needs to be mixed by hand, and also flavored with red pepper and
iodized salt.
Modeling dumplings
Such "ears" are formed, as usual. To do this, roll out the dough, cut it into circles using a round cookie knife, and then put the minced meat in each piece, pinch it, give it a rounded shape and put in the freezer until it hardens.
Cooking dressing
To bake delicious dumplings in the oven, you need to use additional ingredients. For this we need:
- fresh large carrots - 1 pc.;
- onions medium - 2 pcs.;
- thick sour cream - 240 g;
- tomato sauce - 5 large spoons;
- vegetable oil - 30-45 ml;
- butter - 55 g (for lubrication of the form);
- hard cheese - 170 g.
First you need to peel and chop onions and carrots, and then lightly fry them using vegetable oil. After this, you need to mix thick sour cream with tomato sauce, and also grate hard cheese on a grater.
Dish formation
Before baking dumplings in the oven, they should be laid raw in a deep form, oiled (creamy), and then covered with a layer of sautéed vegetables, a mixture of sour cream and tomato sauce, as well as grated cheese.
Heat treatment
Bake dumplings with fragrant sauce in the oven should be about 40-47 minutes. During this time, the mincemeat is fully cooked, and the dough becomes soft and even a little fried.
How to serve to the table
Baked dumplings with cheese should be presented to family members in a hot condition. Such a dish must be sprinkled with chopped dill, leek and parsley, and also serve fresh wheat bread.
