Lenten yeast dough for pies and pies in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make lean yeast dough for pies? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Sift the flour through a fine sieve to saturate it with oxygen. This will make the baked goods more fluffy and airy. Take the highest grade flour, wheat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour dry yeast into a bowl. Add some warm water and stir. Let the yeast dissipate - stand for about 5 minutes. Keep in mind that there are different types of dry yeast, so read the instructions on the package on how to use yours.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar, salt, vegetable oil to the yeast and stir. Use refined, odorless vegetable oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Gradually add sifted flour to the yeast mixture and knead the dough. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the consistency of the dough. It should turn out moderately thick, but not stiff, soft and not sticky. Transfer the dough into a bowl, cover with a towel and leave in a warm, draft-free place to rise for 1 hour. I usually put the bowl of dough in the turned off oven. It may take longer - it all depends on the activity of your yeast.

5. STEP 5

   

   This is how it rose for me within an hour. The dough is completely ready to use. You can use it to make pies for frying in a pan and baking in the oven. The filling can be anything - sweet or savory. Even products without filling, such as buns or flatbreads, will be good.

6. STEP 6

   

   And I decided to make these flatbreads in a frying pan. They can be eaten with soup or simply with tea. Bon appetit!

To make pies in the oven and donuts, I used a recipe for lean yeast dough for pies and pies in the oven. I have good, proven yeast, so I halved the amount and also reduced the volume of water. I was unable to knead the dough until it was non-sticky, so I left it to rise in a warm place as it turned out - a little runny. And she transferred the already risen dough onto a flour-dusted surface, and also constantly dipped her hands in flour while shaping. With such a soft, sticky dough, the result was a very tender and airy pastry; you wouldn’t even immediately understand that the dough was lean.

Just a suuuuper recipe!!! I have never made such a successful dough using dry yeast. But the dough stood not for 1 hour, but a little longer, and rose 4 times. The author does not write how he worked with the test later. I greased the work surface with oil, and my hands too, the dough was beautifully soft, I easily shaped it with my hand, and made the pies. And then, as in the fairy tale, “One, two, three, don’t cook any more.”
