Kefir pie without eggs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a kefir pie without eggs in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take premium flour. Sift the flour to make the cake fluffier. You can take kefir of any fat content. Remove kefir from the refrigerator in advance. Adjust sugar according to your taste. You can use any oil. I have olive. Please note that such a pie will differ in structure and taste from one made with eggs. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees

2. STEP 2

   

   Take any berries or fruits you like for the pie. Apples, plums, cherries, cranberries, peaches, and currants are suitable. I used frozen pitted cherries. It must first be defrosted and the juice drained. Dry the berries. You should do the same with other frozen fruits and berries. I defrost the berries in the evening in a colander so that all the juice drains from them. Then the dough will not “float” from excess moisture.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar and vegetable oil to kefir at room temperature. Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add baking soda and stir again. The dough will begin to foam a lot. Is it possible to replace baking soda with baking powder? I don't see the point in this because baking powder is added to the dough, which has no acid. The kefir dough contains acid, so the reaction with soda will be quite violent. But if you are concerned about the soda taste, you can use baking powder instead of soda. How to properly replace baking soda with baking powder, read the article at the link after the recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add sifted flour in parts, each time thoroughly mixing the dough until smooth. Depending on the moisture and fat content of kefir, as well as the quality of the flour itself, you may need more or less. Therefore, focus on consistency. You can read more about flour and its properties in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   The finished dough should be thick, but fluid and slowly flow in a continuous ribbon from a spoon or whisk.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour part of the dough into a baking dish (Ø 22-26 cm) lined with parchment and greased with butter. You can choose the right parchment paper by reading a separate article about the features of parchment, the link is at the end of the recipe. Distribute the prepared cherries on top. You can immediately stir all the cherries into the dough and place them in the mold, but I prefer to lay them out in two layers.

8. STEP 8

   

   Spread the remaining dough on top and smooth it out. Place the remaining cherries on top. Bake the pie for about 40-60 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C until golden brown. The baking time for the pie depends on your oven and the size of the chosen mold: the larger the diameter of the mold, the thinner the layer of dough will be, which means the pie will bake faster (check the middle of the pie with a toothpick - it will bake later than the edges). Bon appetit!
