Pies with rice and egg in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake rice and egg pies in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. This quantity will yield approximately 12 small pies.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to knead the dough for delicious yeast pies? First you need to activate the yeast. Take a bowl, pour warm water into it, temperature about 37-39 degrees. Hotter water will kill yeast, which is a living organism. And in cold water they simply won’t wake up. Put a couple of tablespoons of flour into the water and stir. Pour in the yeast and stir with a whisk.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cover the bowl with a towel and leave for 15-20 minutes. During this time, a foam cap should appear on the surface of the water - this means that the yeast is active, it has woken up and is ready to work. If this does not happen, then you need to use other yeast; with this the dough will not rise.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve into another bowl. Sifting aerates the flour, which will make your baked goods softer and fluffier. Don't skip this step, especially when making yeast dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt and sugar to the flour, mix.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg with a fork and pour it into the flour. Pour vegetable oil there. Before using, wash the egg in warm water and soda, as there may be harmful bacteria on its surface.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add the yeast dough last. Knead the dough. First, just stir it with a spoon. When it becomes difficult to stir, use your hand. It's convenient to do this right in the bowl. Don't add more flour - the dough will be sticky, but that's how it should be. It will remain soft in the finished product. Better wear a glove. Or knead the dough with a mixer with special attachments.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the dough is smooth and uniform, gather it into a ball and place it in a clean bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel or cling film and place the dough in a warm place to rise for one and a half to two hours. Since flour from different manufacturers has different properties, you may need a little less or more.

9. STEP 9

   

   How to make filling for pies? Boil the eggs in advance. It is better to use short-grain rice, not steamed.

10. STEP 10

    

    Rinse the rice well in several waters until the water runs clear. Next, pour cold water over the rice in a ratio of 1:1.5 (for one part of rice, one and a half portions of water) and cook over high heat. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Then turn off the fire. Do not open the lid of the pan! Leave the rice to stand for another 15 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    After 15 minutes, add butter to the cooked warm rice. Stir.

12. STEP 12

    

    Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them with a knife.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add eggs to rice. Add salt to taste. Stir. The filling is ready.

14. STEP 14

    

    The dough should double in size.

15. STEP 15

    

    Punch it down and assemble it into a ball again.

16. STEP 16

    

    Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Mix it a little.

17. STEP 17

    

    Roll the dough into a sausage and divide into 12 equal parts.

18. STEP 18

    

    Round each part. To do this, gather the edges to the center with a knot, turn it seam side down and roll the workpiece, forming a ball.

19. STEP 19

    

    Roll each ball into a circle, about 5 mm thick. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center.

20. STEP 20

    

    Pinch the edges of the pie. Fold the seam into a shape if desired.

21. STEP 21

    

    Form all the pies in this way. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. I placed the pies too close to each other. It is better to divide their quantity into two baking sheets and leave a larger distance between them - the pies will grow a lot.

22. STEP 22

    

    Cover the baking sheet with a towel and leave the pies to rise for 15-20 minutes.

23. STEP 23

    

    Preheat the oven to 180°C, top-bottom mode. Bake the pies for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool hot pies on a wire rack. The times are approximate, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven.

I prepared pies with rice and eggs in the oven for tea. I used the highest grade flour for the dough, egg category C1. I added 350 grams of flour; on the author’s advice, I didn’t add more. The dough remained a little sticky, but this did not create any problems during kneading. For the filling I took round grain rice. I divided the risen dough into 12 parts. I started putting the filling into the pies quite generously, so I had enough for 7 pies. I filled the five remaining ones with raspberries, sugar and starch. I baked the pies at 180 degrees for 25 minutes: 10 on the middle level of the oven and 15 on the top one. The pies turned out rosy, fluffy, and soft. The whole family loved these pies. Very tasty. katushafin, thank you very much for the recipe!
