What is shang?
This dish experts refer to traditional Russian pastries. Some sources indicate that Tatars and Finns are ranked among their national cuisine. The product is a small open cake in the form of a cake with a wide variety of fillings, baked from rye or wheat-rye flour. The dough is usually kneaded with yeast, adding beef and mutton fat. Served with fish, soup, milk, yogurt or tea.
How is shang different from cheesecake?
Shanga (or shanezhka) is very similar to cheesecake, many consider the names of these dishes synonymous. But this is not so. The main difference between chanegs and cheesecakes is that they are never made sweet. Even if the shangs are made with cottage cheese, they do not put sugar or any additives in them. Another important difference is that in the middle of the cakes for cheesecakes, a recess is necessarily made in which the filling is laid. The shang is simply lubricated with the filling on top, without any specially made recesses. The third difference is that the contents of the cheesecake are usually located in the center. Shang is completely lubricated to the brim.
How do shangs bake?
This old Russian dish is made from rye or wheat flour. The dough is used unfermented yeast or fresh. Flat cakes are rolled out from it, about the thickness of a finger and the size of a saucer (in some regions the size of chanegs reaches the size of a pan). The rolled cake is placed in a pan pre-oiled. As the filling, use cottage cheese, cabbage (stewed), meat, ham, mashed potatoes (with cracklings and fried onions), carrots or beets, etc. Shangi with cheese are very popular. The filling is spread evenly on the dough, the surface of the cake is greased with yolk. Bake a delicacy in the oven or oven. Finished products are once again lubricated with oil.
