Pumpkin kefir pies without yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   The dough is made quickly. Mix all dry ingredients: 2 cups flour, salt

3. STEP 3

   

   and soda

4. STEP 4

   

   Then add slightly warmed kefir

5. STEP 5

   

   Knead the dough, adding the 3rd glass of flour, so that the dough does not turn out too tight (you may not need the whole glass of flour), it should be elastic. If the dough sticks to your hands, grease them with vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Divide the dough into 12 parts, cover with cellophane so that it does not dry out while we make the filling.

7. STEP 7

   

   We clean the pumpkin from peel and seeds. Grate on a coarse grater

8. STEP 8

   

   Heat a frying pan and melt the butter

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the pumpkin in the pan and add sugar. I added 1 tbsp. a spoonful of sugar, but focus on the sweetness of the pumpkin. Simmer the pumpkin over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until cooked. Then let it cool, you can put the frying pan in a container with cold water to speed up the process

10. STEP 10

    

    Turn on the oven at 180 degrees. While it is heating, we form the pies. Roll out the dough pieces into an oval shape

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the filling in the center

12. STEP 12

    

    You can roll it like regular pies or weave it into a spikelet. To do this, fold one edge over the filling.

13. STEP 13

    

    Then take the right side of the dough

14. STEP 14

    

    Cover the filling towards the middle with a slight overlap on the left side

15. STEP 15

    

    Then take the dough on the left

16. STEP 16

    

    Cover with an overlap to the right

17. STEP 17

    

    Then again to the right

18. STEP 18

    

    And on the left

19. STEP 19

    

    To end

20. STEP 20

    

    You will get a spikelet

21. STEP 21

    

    Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil or cover with parchment paper as you usually do

22. STEP 22

    

    Place the pies, beat the egg, brush the pies with it

23. STEP 23

    

    Bake for approximately 20 - 25 minutes, until golden brown.

24. STEP 24

    

    To bake these pies, you can make any filling - with apples or carrots. The carrots will also need to be simmered with sugar until tender. And for the apple filling, you can grate them or finely chop them and sprinkle with sugar. In general, to your taste and color. Bon appetit!

A recipe that does not require a lot of effort. It is prepared quickly and very simply. The shape holds well. They turn out moderately soft, moderately crispy. I did not make the filling according to the recipe. I opened a jar of cabbage with rice and tomatoes (my mother calls this preparation “Tourist’s Breakfast”). I added fried onions. While the pies were in the oven, I thought that the kids wouldn’t wait. As soon as our rosy beauties were taken out.. no longer paying attention to the fact that they were hot, they began to crave. Thank you very much to the AUTHOR!!!
