A pie is considered a culinary product with a small filling, which is prepared, as a rule, from yeast dough. Now it’s hard to say who first came up with such an unusual, but very tasty product. Currently, there are many varieties of it. But the pie with sausage still enjoys the most popularity. You can do it in different ways. It all depends on the type of dough and the method of preparation of the product.
Baking in the oven
To prepare a classic pie with sausage, it is better to use the simplest option - baking in the oven. This method is ideal for yeast dough products. In this case, in addition to special equipment and utensils, the following products will be needed:
For the test:
600 grams of flour, 25 grams of sugar and butter, 380 grams of water, one teaspoon of dried yeast and salt.
In addition, you will need 1 pack of sausages and 1 egg.
Making a sausage pie is, in principle, not difficult:
- First you need to cook the dough. You can use a bread machine for this. Everything is very simple here. First of all, it is necessary to fill in with water, and then fill up the dry components. Lastly, oil is added, previously cut into pieces. After that, close the lid and set the mode to “dough” on the panel. After 90 minutes, the cake mix will be ready. The smart device itself will produce not only a batch, but also an additional blast.
- The finished dough must be rolled out in the form of a layer with a thickness of 3 millimeters. After that, it remains only to cut into strips. The width of the blanks can be arbitrary.
- Wrap each sausage tightly with a strip of dough and fix it on the end.
- Place blanks on a baking sheet covered with parchment.
- Grease the surface of each product with an egg.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. The finished product should cool slightly before use.
Such baking is often called “sausage in the dough”. In principle, the way it is.
Fried pies
But baking in the oven is not the only option. The sausage pie will be no less tasty if you fry it in a pan. In this case, the dough does not have to be done by yourself. You can buy ready-made convenience foods at the grocery store. This is not a problem these days. So, to work, you need the following components:
yeast dough, vegetable oil, sausages, 1 onion and a little flour.
Such pies are prepared according to the following technology:
- Finely chop the onion head and add to the dough. During frying, this will give the product an extra flavor.
- Roll the cooked dough into a layer.
- Divide it into pieces, and then wrap the sausage in each so that it is not visible.
- Fry in boiling oil over low heat on both sides.
The whole process takes no more than half an hour. True, it all depends on the number of sausages. Such flavored cakes will be a great option if you need to quickly cook something tasty.
Double "fur coat"
It turns out very tasty if you cook a pie with sausage and potatoes. It turns out a rather original product in which the meat is wrapped in a double "coat" of dough and potatoes. To prepare such pies you will need:
0.5 kilograms of yeast dough, 12 pieces (1 kilogram) of sausages, flour and 0.4 kilograms of finished mashed potatoes.
The technology of this process is as follows:
- Knead the dough thoroughly and divide it into several parts according to the number of sausages.
- Roll out each piece using a rolling pin.
- Put mashed potatoes on top and gently spread it with a spoon. If desired, you can add a little grated cheese, pepper or fried onions to such a filling.
- In the middle, put a sausage and wrap it in a "fur coat" so that there are no visible seams on either side.
- Such products can be prepared both in a pan and in the oven. In the first case, it is better to fry in vegetable oil until a soft golden crust appears on the surface. For baking, the semi-finished products need to be sent to the oven for 25 minutes, preheating it to 180 degrees.
The result in both cases is to please all lovers of pies.
Nutritional value of the product
Many people consider a pie with sausage and potatoes to be a good option for a quick bite. The calorie content of this product per 100 grams is about 235 kilocalories. For the finished product, this figure will be much larger. Indeed, one pie, depending on the amount of dough, weighs from 150 to 200 grams. Accordingly, the calories in it will be one and a half to two times more. At first glance it seems that this is not much. But here it is worth remembering that for normal nutrition a person needs to consume no more than 2400 kilocalories per day. By simple mathematical calculations it turns out that this corresponds to 5-6 pies. If you eat them right away, then what about the rest of the meals? In addition, the calorie content of the pie also depends on the method of its preparation. For example, a fried product is cooked in oil. It doubles the energy value of the product compared to that prepared by baking in the oven. In addition, various flavoring agents such as cheese or onions play an important role.

Each ingredient adds a certain amount of calories to the total amount, which, of course, affects the final result. But, if you eat such pies in the morning or in the afternoon, then in a day the body will have time to use up the received amount of energy. And after an evening meal, all the calories will go to building up the fat layer of the sides and abdomen. Such a good example gives any person good ground for thought. There is only one conclusion from this: you need to eat not only tasty, but also correctly.
