Pie with semolina in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make semolina pie in the oven? Prepare your food. Kefir is suitable for any fat content, it doesn’t matter. It is better if it is at room temperature, remove it from the refrigerator in advance. The same applies to eggs - warm ingredients will make the pie more fluffy. If you did not have time to do this, then keep the eggs in warm water and heat the kefir on the stove.

2. STEP 2

   

   Start cooking by preparing semolina - fill it with kefir and leave for 30-40 minutes to swell. Consider this time in advance, because the cake itself is kneaded very quickly. Stir the mixture from time to time.

3. STEP 3

   

   After time has passed, begin directly kneading the dough. Beat the eggs into a bowl. Start beating them, gradually increasing the speed of the mixer. While doing this, add sugar and a pinch of salt in portions. Salt acts as a flavor enhancer in sweet baked goods, so don't be afraid to add it. Beat the eggs until light and fluffy.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour the beaten eggs into the swollen semolina. Mix both masses well until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour baking powder into the flour and stir it in - this will help the cake rise evenly. Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl with the dough. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the cake will turn out airy and rise well during baking.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stir in the flour until the dough becomes homogeneous; it has the consistency of thick sour cream.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash and dry the pear. Cut it into 4 parts, cut out the core with seeds and stalks. Cut the quarters into thin slices.

8. STEP 8

   

   Take a baking dish. Any ovenproof pan will work for this cake. If you use silicone, you do not need to coat it with oil. But it is better to lightly grease metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the baked goods do not burn. Pour the dough into the mold and place the pear pieces on top. I have a silicone mold measuring 20*9 cm.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bake the pie in the oven, preheated to 180°C, top-bottom mode, without convection. Baking time is from 40 minutes to 1 hour. This will depend on the features of your oven and the size of the pan. My pie only took an hour to bake because it turned out tall. Check doneness with a wooden skewer - it should come out dry from the middle of the pie. Remove the finished pie from the oven, cool and release from the mold.

10. STEP 10

    

    It is better to cool this pie completely, then it will not crumble when slicing. Serve the pie to the table. Bon appetit!

I made a pie with semolina in the oven. Instead of kefir, I used thick unsweetened yogurt. I baked it in a round pan with a diameter of 21 cm, so the cooking time was shorter than in the recipe. While baking, an aroma similar to the smell of Duchess sweets wafted through the kitchen. The mannik turned out very beautiful and moderately sweet, next time I would add more sugar. Wonderful baked goods for tea. Thanks for the recipe!
