Kefir pies in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make kefir pies in the oven? Measure out the ingredients you need. You can take kefir of any fat content. You can replace dry yeast with fresh pressed yeast, based on a ratio of 1:3. That is, you will need to take 30 grams of them. You will learn how to replace yeast and other useful information by reading the article at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour kefir and vegetable oil into a saucepan. Stir. Place the saucepan over low heat and heat the mixture to 37-39°C, stirring constantly. Then remove the saucepan from the heat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour sugar and salt into warm kefir and stir until completely dissolved.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the wheat flour into a deep bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add dry yeast and stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Use a spoon to make a well in the flour.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the kefir mixture into the well in the flour.

8. STEP 8

   

   Knead soft elastic dough. Knead it for about 10 minutes. I do this in a food processor. Watch the consistency of the dough - you may need more or less flour than I did, keep this in mind. Read about the properties of flour in a separate article at the end of this recipe.

9. STEP 9

   

   The dough should hold its shape well, be tender, elastic, and not sticky. Roll the dough into a ball.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave warm for 30-40 minutes. We want it to rise a little bit.

11. STEP 11

    

    Proceed with the filling. You can use any one. I have this boiled rice with egg. First boil the rice in plenty of salted water until half cooked. Place the rice in a colander and let the water drain. Refrigerate. Hard-boil the eggs, cool, peel and cut into small cubes. Wash the cilantro and dill and dry. Finely chop the greens. In a bowl, combine fluffy rice, eggs, herbs, salt and pepper.

12. STEP 12

    

    Mix all filling ingredients well.

13. STEP 13

    

    Divide the risen dough into 12-14 identical pieces (I got 14 pieces of 60 g each) and roll them into balls.

14. STEP 14

    

    Flatten each ball onto a floured surface into small rounds.

15. STEP 15

    

    Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling on each piece of dough.

16. STEP 16

    

    Carefully pinch the edges of the dough.

17. STEP 17

    

    Form the remaining pies in the same way.

18. STEP 18

    

    Place the pies seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave them to proof for 10 minutes.

19. STEP 19

    

    To decorate the top of the pies we need raw yolk. I also used sesame seeds, but you can do without them. Beat the yolk into a bowl and shake with a fork.

20. STEP 20

    

    Brush the surface of the pies with raw yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

21. STEP 21

    

    Bake the pies in an oven preheated to 200°C for about 20 minutes. The times are approximate, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven. You can learn more about ovens by reading the article below the steps. Serve hot. Although they are delicious when they cool down. Bon appetit!

I really liked the recipe for kefir pies in the oven! The dough turned out to be very easy to work with, despite the fact that I kneaded it by hand. Dry yeast was replaced with fresh pressed yeast. And since they need to be put into operation differently than dry ones, I decided to activate them in heated kefir. Its temperature was suitable for this. And I think I was not mistaken, because the yeast did not die and began to act, and the dough ended up turning out just right))) It was a pleasure to work with the dough, very good! The flatbreads are easy to make and fit well with the filling inside. The result was a lot of beautiful, delicious pies, just what we needed! Thanks for the recipe

The dough is really very tasty and is suitable for other fillings, although this time I made it for the first time in a multi-baker with rice and an egg, just like yours.

Hello! Don't you need an egg in the dough? Just for lubrication? It's not a mistake?
