Pie dough like fluff

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pie dough like fluff? Prepare your food. Heat the milk to body temperature, add the yeast to it. Stir well to dissolve the yeast. Immediately add sugar, salt and mix again. Add vegetable oil and mix again. Read about the intricacies of working with yeast in a separate article at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the wheat flour through a fine sieve to saturate it with oxygen and make it more airy. I generally repeat this manipulation three times! Only in this case will the flour make the dough tender, and it will rise quickly and without problems. So, sift the wheat flour. You will learn a lot of useful information about flour by reading the article on this topic at the link at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix the liquid well with the dissolved yeast (it’s better to use quick yeast) and start pouring the sifted flour into it in parts. You may need less or more flour than I do - use the consistency of the dough as a guide.

4. STEP 4

   

   First mix the dough with a spoon or wooden spatula.

5. STEP 5

   

   When it becomes more difficult to stir with a spoon, you can transfer the dough to a floured work surface or cutting board.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sprinkle some flour on the dough and start kneading it with your hands until the dough stops sticking. Add flour little by little, watch the consistency of the dough - it should not be hard or rough. And remember that the dough must be warm, so do everything quickly.

7. STEP 7

   

   This is the kind of bun I got after I gently kneaded it in several steps, folding it several times and kneading it.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover the dough with a towel and leave it warm to rise. This will take from half an hour to 1-2 hours - the time depends on the quality of the yeast. As soon as the dough increases in volume by 1.5-2 times, knead it with your hands.

9. STEP 9

   

   It will be elastic, but soft, not dry. Cut the dough into pieces according to the number of future pies.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll each piece into a ball, then into a flat cake. Fill the pies with any filling of your choice, sweet or savory. Mine is pumpkin with apples.

11. STEP 11

    

    Let the pies rest for another 30 minutes before baking. You will learn how to grease the baked goods before baking from the article at the end of the recipe. Bake in an oven preheated to 180-220C until done. Focus on the features of your oven.

I prepared the dough for pies like fluff. This time I needed to knead the dough for frying pies in a frying pan. The dough turned out wonderful, soft, airy, with a crispy, tender crust. There seems to be nothing unusual in the recipe; I have made the dough from the same ingredients many times, but this time the dough turned out especially successful. Either due to the fact that, according to the author’s advice, I sifted the flour three times, or due to the fact that I used a life hack from the New Cook’s commentary on this recipe (I beat the dough on the table 50 times. Next time I will definitely bake pies from this dough in the oven. Thank you for the recipe, wella!

The dough is wonderful. I sifted it three times as instructed. The pies came out wonderful: very tender, soft, just super! I've made pies many times before and it never worked out. But this time it turned out great! I even decided to register on the site to express my gratitude to the author of this recipe with such detailed instructions. 👍🥳😊👌🏻

Hello, dear chefs. I wanted to share one life hack for yeast dough. It will be much more elastic if, after kneading, you beat it on the table 50 times. Anything - both buttery and for pies. I also beat any unleavened dough - for dumplings, flatbreads, etc.

Excellent dough recipe, I’m delighted I’ve baked pies 10 times already, there’s no need for a lot of ingredients, I always have them at home. On the second day they are not stale. The child really likes it with potatoes))

I've made pies using my own dough a couple of times in my life. All the time some dough didn’t turn out very well, but then I accidentally came across this recipe, which I liked for its simplicity and ease of preparation. I decided to try it. I sifted the flour three times as prescribed. The dough turned out surprisingly, very airy, and at the same time the pies were the most tender. Thank you very much for the recipe
