Jellied pie with sausages and grated cheese on kefir

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients to make a sausage and cheese pie. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour fresh kefir into a bowl and add baking powder, stir. The mass will begin to increase and foam, this is a normal reaction of the soda, which is present in the baking powder, to the acid.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the egg thoroughly in warm water to remove dirt and bacteria. Break the egg into another bowl and stir it with a fork until smooth. Pour the egg mixture into the kefir and stir with a whisk until smooth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift wheat flour, preferably premium grade, through a fine sieve into a bowl with the egg-kefir mixture. This will allow the flour to get rid of debris, if any, and saturate it with oxygen. This will make the baked goods more airy and fluffy.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix everything with a whisk until the dough is homogeneous. It should turn out like sour cream.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater and place in a bowl with the dough. You can use any cheese at your discretion. But keep in mind that the taste and aroma of the pie will directly depend on its variety. Also, keep in mind that cheeses have different levels of salt.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the sausages from the casing, if any, and cut into wheels. You can use absolutely any sausage, even one with a smoky flavor, which will make the pie more piquant. Instead of sausages, ham or regular boiled sausage is quite suitable.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix the dough with cheese and sausages until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grease a 12*18 baking dish with odorless vegetable oil so as not to overpower the main flavor of the pie. Sprinkle the pan with breadcrumbs. This will allow you to remove the finished cake from the mold without any problems in the future. Instead of breadcrumbs, you can use semolina.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the finished dough into the mold and smooth it out.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place in a hot oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The pie should be covered with a delicious golden brown crust. Don't expect it to rise much; the presence of cheese won't allow it.

12. STEP 12

    

    Remove the sausage and cheese pie from the oven and cool. Remove from pan and serve.

13. STEP 13

    

    Bon appetit.
