Pie made from yeast dough with jam can be either open or closed - it all depends on the mood of the hostess. To prepare such a sweet pastry takes a minimum of time and material costs with the most delicious way out. This is just what is required when time is running out, and you want to please yourself with something like home oh.
Beautiful open pie
We always like it when we see what we eat. Agree, it’s much nicer to serve not a pig in a poke, but a beautifully decorated pie with jam. Yeast dough can be bought at the store, this will not affect the appearance of baking. But the pieces of fruit and berries, visible under the wicker braid of golden dough, will completely add charm to the seemingly ordinary cooking.
Which jam to choose?
Naturally, liquid jam for baking will not work at all. Therefore, pear, apple jam, jam, berry jam or only berries from strawberry or cherry jam without stones are most often used.
For those who have time to knead the dough
Of course, the purchased dough is quite suitable for baking, but those who use their own hand-made dough argue that the difference is obvious. And this difference states that a delicious jam pie can be baked only from the dough of its own batch. To prepare the butter base, we need the following ingredients:
- premium wheat flour - 3 cups;
- water (warm milk) - 1 cup;
- dry instant yeast - 1 teaspoon;
- baking margarine - 200 g;
- granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon;
- salt - half a teaspoon.
Yeast Secrets
A pie made from yeast dough with jam will turn out to be especially rich if the dough is placed on dough. To do this, pour salt, sugar and yeast into a glass of warm water and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. In this case, the yeast (even if it is dry and instant) will suit and make the dough more voluminous and rich. Sometimes housewives try to make the baking even tastier and replace the water with warm milk or lay an egg. This can be done, only in this case it will be necessary to increase the portion of dry yeast. The more extraneous (in addition to water and flour) ingredients, the more yeast is required for kneading.
Jam quick cake: what to do while yeast is ripening?
Our cake is quick and that we won’t lose a minute and will cut margarine. Baking margarine is most suitable for dough, but sometimes it is replaced with butter. The optimal place for chopping pieces of margarine in flour is a baking board. However, this can be done on a large cutting board or on a clean, dry table, or in a deep bowl. When the soft margarine is already carefully chopped with flour, you can pour everything into a saucepan and add the suitable dough.
Recipe: Jam Pie Dough. Butter base
You can knead the bun directly with your hands, because the dough will soon stop sticking to your hands and form an elastic and supple lump. In order for the cake base to finally come up, it is necessary to cover the pan with a lid and let the mass stand for an hour at room temperature. If the house is cool enough, then the indicated time, accordingly, increases. The base, from which the pie from the yeast dough with jam will come out very soon, should be well bonded. Therefore, once again, we will forcefully and heartily crush the flour ball and leave, again, depending on the value of room temperature, 30-50 minutes.
Divide the dough into two parts
As you understand, the parts should not be equal. 3 quarters of the dough will go under the base of the pie, and the remaining quarter - on the decoration of jam in the form of thin wickers. Most of it can already be rolled out into a round baking dish so that it is enough for the edges.
Jam also has secrets
Using jam in baking, we always take a little risk. Any hostess, especially if guests are expected, is worried if jam will flow out of the pie? To prevent this from happening, you can cheat a little and add a little starch to the filling (approximately 1 tablespoon per glass). The dose of starch can increase or decrease depending on the density of the sweet filler.
We make a pie
Good thick sides of the pie, few people like in the process of eating, but they are the ones who guard the sweet filling. Therefore, we will not save the dough to create high sides. Our jam is now very thick, so we will put it in the cake from the heart. And for the safety of the upper layer, we will be responsible for a kind of mesh of long test flagella. Now you can put an open pie of yeast dough with jam in a preheated oven for about half an hour. Amazingly delicate aroma itself will signal the imminent completion of the process. The oven temperature should not exceed 180 degrees in order to avoid burning. Now the guests will definitely be satisfied.
Some baking tips
- Particularly lush dough is obtained if the sifted flour is added to the dough and melted butter or margarine.
- Silicone baking dishes are not oiled. In order not to use oil in heat-resistant forms, they are lined with special paper, which will significantly reduce the cleaning process.
- Sometimes in open cakes, instead of a net, real wicker pigtails are built as an ornament. Thus, the cake, rising, becomes almost closed.
- If it is not possible to form a one-sided side of the pie, you can craft it from a separate long and thick tourniquet.
- To top the baking dish beautifully browned, you can grease it before sending it to the oven with an egg whipped with one tablespoon of sour cream.
Have a nice tea party!
