Pies are a great way to feed your family a hearty and tasty dinner. This dish is loved by both children and adults, a huge number of filling types make it possible to prepare baked goods for almost any taste. Pies can be fried in a pan without butter, and baked in the oven.
However, the classic yeast dough for a pie with cabbage is not prepared very quickly, since even the uncooked method of making the dough will take you at least forty minutes. What to do if you really wanted a pie, but there are no yeast bought in advance in the house, and there is no time to mess around for a long time? In this case, we suggest you make a pie from yeast-free dough.
In order to make a yeast-free dough for a cabbage pie , you will need:
- 250 grams of kefir; a pound of wheat flour, one egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar and vegetable oil, a teaspoon of soda, a pinch of salt.
Immediately, it can be noted that kefir is easily replaced with another sour-milk non-fat product, which is available in the house, except for sour cream. Sour milk is wonderful, the dough on it will turn out to be magnificent and tender, even whey will fit. It is better to prepare flour with a margin so that you can sprinkle the table when rolling blanks for pies.
Rub the egg with sugar and salt well. Sugar is indicated in this recipe to make a dough for a pie with cabbage, if you want to make pies with a sweet filling, then the amount of sugar should be doubled. Then pour in the vegetable oil and beat the mass until smooth. In sour milk or kefir, add soda, previously slaked with vinegar, and mix well.
If you do not want to use vinegar to extinguish soda, you can use citric acid or lemon juice. Soda should be mixed with citric acid in equal proportions and pour water.
Add kefir to the first mixture and knead everything thoroughly. As soon as the contents of the bowl get a homogeneous consistency, we add the sifted flour in small portions. Stir the dough well so that no lumps form! The dough should not be too steep, delicate in texture, elastic and not stick to your hands.
Cover the finished dough with an inverted bowl and let it stand for a while.
Such a dough for a pie with cabbage is good because any filling is suitable here. Finely chopped apples, cheese, sausages, thick jam, rice - almost everything will do. However, cabbage filling for this test is just perfect.
Of course, not only pies can be cooked with cabbage. Very tasty, for example, dumplings with cabbage.
To prepare the dough for dumplings with cabbage, you will need:
- 0.5 teaspoon of sugar, 150 g of water, 2 cups flour, egg, salt.
For minced meat:
- a small head of cabbage, a spoon of sugar, 2 onions, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, pepper, 100 g of vegetable oil, 2 carrots, salt, bay leaf.
For the test, you should put an egg in the sifted flour, pour in cold water, in which sugar and salt are dissolved. Knead a fairly steep dough and set aside for half an hour to swell.
At a time when the dough swells, you can cook minced meat. Finely chop the cabbage and put on a heated frying pan. Add a little water and simmer until soft under the lid. Cut the onion into small cubes, grate the carrots. Put carrots and onions to cabbage, salt to taste, simmer for 15 minutes. Before stewing, add pepper, salt, bay leaf and sugar.
The dough should be rolled thinly, cut into circles. Put the minced meat in the middle of each circle, fold the dumpling in half and pinch the edges. Give it a crescent shape.
However, this is not the only dough recipe suitable for dumplings. We suggest you prepare the dough for dumplings on kefir.
